5.0 out of 5 stars A Really Great Read, November 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lunch of blood (Paperback)

"Lunch of Blood" is a powerful collection of profiles by Antonella Gambotto, one of Australia's most controversial and uncompromising interviewers. She is penetrating in her observations, ruthless in her descriptions, and not afraid to have opinions. We may never meet the people laid bare by these profiles - but there is writing here which will make the reader feel as unsettled as the subjects were ... In the words of the Australian Bookseller & Publisher: "The interviews hang together superbly as a collection, largely because Gambotto has the astonishing ability to reveal the absolute essence of a person."

Subjects include Martin Amis, James Blundell, Bondage & Discipline Mistresses, Edward de Bono, Cardiothoracic Surgeons, Nick Cave, Gerard Depardieu, Alex Dimitriades, Gosia Dobrowolska, Ben Elton, Andrew Ettingshausen, Lisbeth Gorr, Rachel Hunter, Sean Kelly, Maria Kozic, Sophie Lee, Elle Macpherson, Male Prostitutes, Paul Mercurio, Morrissey, Thierry Mugler, Richard Neville, Marc Newson, John Pilger, Gretel Pinniger, Siimon Reynolds, Richard Stubbs, Noah Taylor, Naomi Wolf, and Aden Young.

"Unflinchingly reported ... notorious." The Sydney Weekly.
