Born Into This by Adam Thompson review – witty, versatile and thrumming with voice


The book often melds city and bush. The opening story, The Old Tin Mine, features a cantankerous, weed-smoking elder, a ranger who is responsible for running a “survival camp” for town-raised lads who have lost their connection to Country. The program is loosely set up for “traditional food, yarns, roughing it”: so for the boys to snare a roo or two and to gather some low-tide limpets among other tribal wisdoms. Here and all throughout the book, Thompson displays a fine calibration of characterisation and voice. “Uncle Ben” (not an honorific he’d chosen) is gruff and sardonic, and like a number of the other stories, there’s humour and a twist in the end too.
