‘Pete Bowes writes about surfing like no one I’ve ever read; he was a Bondi boy who moved up to Byron Bay in 1963. Between Bondi and Byron Bay, Pete crossed tracks with a rogues’ gallery – surfers, itinerants, brawlers, the lost – all of them lovingly hand-painted by Pete’s pen. His short vignettes in Bloodlines are visceral, teeth rattling, piss funny and even true, and they stretch from then to now and this horizon to that, from the poetic to the poignant to the hilarious.’
Sean Doherty, author of My Brother’s Keeper, and MP: The Life of Michael Peterson*, both published by HarperCollins.
