Ogilvie, Judy: The Push: An impressionist memoir
Book Number: 49498
Primavera 1995 8vo softcover 184pp very good. PO gift inscription of half title. In the fifties when prostitutes and drunkards were the only women who drank in pubs, Sydney hosted a sticky web of drinkers, talkers and gamblers who called themselves The Push. Critics rubbished them as a self aggrandising cult of decadents with reputations in excess of their talants. Young thrill-seekers threw themselves headfirst at the Push philosophers of free love. They embraced as The Everlasting Secret Family. They drank the heady liquors of subversive thought - Marxism, anarchy, liberatianism and egoism. This is the impressionist memoir of Judy Ogilvie a Push survivor.
