- Summary:
-
"Nowhere Fast is like peering into a secret black and white corridor in time and finding it teeming with zips, dark lips, studded gloves, flagons of wine, endless cigarettes, protest lapel buttons, middle-finger salutes, and young me and women pressed together and delirious with booze and music who look, for a fleeting moment, like they own the world. Paul O'Brien captures a gritty pageant of like-minded misfits in Brisbane pubs and clubs, all of them in thrall to an idea and held together by a tribal glow. This parade of ordinary people, often joyful, often poignant, is made all the more vital knowing the oppressive and violent police and political culture that awaited it outside, beyond the stage and the saloon doors, in the dark. Nowhere Fast with essays by Robert Forster and John Willsteed, is a unique and significant contribution to Brisbane and Queensland's cultural history. Matthew Condon (Three Crooked Kings)"--Back cover.
