They're a Weird Mob
Text Classics
Nino Culotta
Who the hellâ€TMs Nino Culotta. Thatâ€TMs what you asked yourself when you first picked up this book, wasnâ€TMt it? Well Iâ€TMm Nino Culotta. My father baptised me Giovanni—John—well Giovannino is like Johnny, and Nino is an easier way of saying it. Or a lazier way, if you like. Just off the boat from Italy—the north—Nino Culotta arrives in Sydney. He thought he spoke English but heâ€TMs never heard anything like the language these Australians are speaking. Theyâ€TMre a Weird Mob is an hilarious snapshot of the immigrant experience in Menzies-era Australia, by a writer with a brilliant ear for the Australian way with words.
