Publishers Description: The public Jim McClelland was widely known and recognised. Less well-known was Jim McClelland the private person - husband, father, friend. Here Gillian creates an intimate portrait of her husband, drawing on McClelland's writing in his popular Sydney Morning Herald column, quotes from his colleagues, readers and friends, and her own insights into his life and beliefs.Through her own recollections and Jim McClelland's own words, Gillian covers those topics about which Jim felt passionately - politics, books, language, the natural and built environment, his adopted city of Sydney, and his friends. She also delves into the things he deplored, such as racism, hypocrisy and pretension.This is a lively, thoughtful and very personal profile of a much loved Australian who struck a chord with so many people of all ages and backgrounds.
