More About We Joined the Navy
This is not a book I would normally ever have read, - it follows a group of naval recruits at Dartmouth through their officer training - but I found it amongst the book swap at a caravan site on the Algarve, when I'd run out of English books to read. It turned out to be a real find, laugh aloud funny. Some of the humour is quite black.... Having read this book fifty years ago it still manages to make me laugh in parts. This was Tim Winton's first book and he went on to right 'follow-ups', of them all I liked this first one the best. Maybe you need to be British to appreciate it? Dry, disjointed, and with oddly ill-defined and unmemorable characters besides the drunk, this 'comic' novel set amid the post-war training of naval recruits disappoints.
