Review by: StreetWise Publications on Oct. 20, 2011 :
An interesting piece that could easily be the introduction to a much longer story. I found some of the prose a little abrupt, short sentences one after the other and so on. I also confess to missing the point a bit as Franziska seemed to arrive on scene rather abruptly and while her boyfriend from the ship was mentioned, there was no explanation as to why he was no longer a factor. It gave young Franziska and her wanton advances a kind of 'sluttishness' she probably didn't deserve. I have to say I was taken by surprise at the change in the story from a pleasant migrant's memoir to something a little more salacious.

Overall it started out as a bit 'What I Did On My Summer Vacation' like and ended a few ratings along with an MA kind of feel to it. I wouldn't class it as erotica but I wouldn't know what to class it as. I think if Kurt takes out the last half and keeps that for something else, then expands the first part, perhaps including why they left Europe, what happened on the boat, what happened after they settled in and so on it would make a worthwhile addition to the migrant ouerve.

Some of the voice and tone is a little formal, at least at first but that is explained by the fact the narrator is not a native speaker. His grasp of English is excellent and very readable and combined with the insight of the migrant coming from another culture as well as what Australia was like 50 years ago makes interesting reading and a book that would be worth putting a fair price on. Why not try that, Kurt? I'd buy a copy.

BTW I arrived here with my family in 1971 when I was 9 so I can relate to the migrant experiences Kurt describes in his piece. Perry Gamsby

One play of footsies does not an erotic novel make.
