A Memoir

Tom Dusevic,

About this book

A poignant and humorous memoir of growing up as the child of Croatian refugees in 1970s suburban Australia.

Tom Dusevic's Whole Wild World sweeps readers into a vibrant world of family, childhood, and cultural identity. Experience suburban Sydney in the 1970s as an adventure playground, where a free-range kid navigates schoolyard dynamics, family expectations, and the mysteries of a post-war migrant household. Scars become marks of wisdom, and backyards transform into arenas for daydreaming and play.

But beneath the surface lies a deeper exploration of belonging and displacement. Dusevic grapples with his parents' history as refugees from Croatia, piecing together their story amidst the challenges of assimilation and the echoes of a war-torn past. This warm and honest memoir explores the complexities of family, identity, and the search for a place to call home. Perfect for readers interested in:

Immigration stories
Australian history
Family sagas
Coming-of-age narratives
