We are literally the days of the week repeatedly until the week ends. In this book, there is a continuous search for the days’ identities, for their specific characteristics, for the way they open up to our consciousness in each of its parts.

The Man Who Cared Too Much


Book Description

“He’s so funny, Ma. Uncle’s a bit like the Devil, isn’t he – if he knew the truth he’d only lie about it.” “Devil or not, you won’t pull the wool over his eyes. He’s always ten steps ahead. He’s like that electric hare at the greyhound races – you’re never going to catch him, no matter how hard you try.” Not a black hearted liar, more Prince of Fibs, Teresa’s uncle keeps everyone on their toes. Rich, a scholar, and ex-national boxing champion – some say a Communist crackpot – Fergus O’Flynn, with devilish cunning, teaches his pretty teenage niece higher things of life, even citing scripture, and how to fight dirty, take care of herself on Hope Street where she’s considered easy bait walking home from school. Neglect had once been his demon, allowing his own sister to die. He was never to let that happen again. Teresa prefers to watch the world from her giant fig tree. One day she is stirred into action, saving a street girl savagely beaten. She takes revenge; a plot unexpectedly hatched by her uncle. Set in Australia’s Tropics, more about school assignments than school proms; of an uncle who brings richness to Teresa’s life in guiding her to self acceptance while continually working behind the scenes. But Fergus is like those painted Russian dolls – out they come, small, large, larger again, all empty as before. Or is he? His fourth novel, Darryl Kennedy is a retired English teacher now writing fulltime in Australia.
