Oh my, thank you for this. I've only read A Long Way from Home, and only parts of that. Clearly it is time for me to read Banjo as well.

So glad! It's like a series of vignettes, but captures kind of a beautiful normal life. I just love the ordinary, average lives of the characters. The dreams that they're living are working-class dreams. it's a kind of exercise in the observation of people through McKay's worldview.
