Airto	Ned Kelly - True History (51* d)	Ned Kelly - True History	14 Jan 02
I've just finished reading Peter Carey's novel True History of the Kelly Gang. It is a great read which leaves me wanting to know more. For example, did Kelly himself write an account of his life and try to have it published in the press, or is that episode created by the author? Is the word 'adjectival', as in "put that adjectival gun away" a word that was actually used in this way by Australians or was is dreamed up by the author to replace earthier swear words? What became of Ned Kelly's child and Mary Hearn, the mother? What has been the response to the book in Australia?
