Description: "A' Jock Tamson's Bairns is the somewhat disjointed, articulation of a fictional homless man's observations, philosophy, and experience of life lived rough on the streets of Victoria. In a characteristic rambling monologue, Archibald Hamish MacAllister - as a local and postmodern Montaigne - describes his slightly squalid situation and occationally objectionable opinions to an interlocutor he calls "Sport'. Over the course of this conversation Archie tells four tall tales, presented here in the form of graphic short stories."--back cover.
