100 Days of Summer by Bob Ellis, ISBN 9780670074730

> Other Books > General Books > World Affairs & Politics Books

Written in Bob Ellis's inimitable style, this is a very personal book about a period of intense political change in Australia. Ellis's diary-style narrative starts on 12 November, 2009 (when Rhys Muldoon picks Ellis up from Parliament House and drives him to visit the poet Les Murray at Bunyah for some lively political discussions) and ends on 7 January, 2010, when Bob's sometime mentor, Mike Rann, faces his recent assailant in in an Adelaide court. The books includes coverage and analysis of the next sitting of the New South Wales Parliament and the result of the South Australian election.

Bob Ellis is close to many of the political players during this rapidly-changing period in Australian politics, but he also manages to stay plugged in to the cultural scene, and has plenty to say about the films, books and theatre of the period. It's very much a pre-election 'rant'.

About the Author: Bob Ellis

Bob Ellis divides his time between screen writing, film directing, broadcasting, song writing, acting, mob oratory, regular journalism and ceremonial speech writing, a rigorous round of dining out and theatre-going, and his family.

Ellis' screenwriting credits, 'Newsfront', 'Goodbye Paradise', 'Maybe This Time' and the Paul Cox collaborations, 'Man Of Flowers' and 'My First Wife', all won major Australian prizes, as did his children's films, 'Fatty Finn', 'Top Kid' and 'The Paper Boy'. He is also the director of 'The Nostradamus Kid' and other feature films.
His books, including 'The Things We Did Last Summer', 'Two Weeks In Another Country', 'Goodbye Jerusalem', 'The Hewson Tapes', 'The Essential Ellis', 'First Abolish The Customer', and 'So It Goes' are regarded in his native land as small classics.

Bob Ellis' position as a war correspondent, social commentator, theatre owner, documentary director, dispirited collaborator with Werner Hertzog, nightclub turn and political mover is possibly unique. His hobbies are eating, conversation, film going, cricket, reading, and exploring the Ring of Kerry. He is now in his fifties, overweight but healthy, and a curiously happy man.
