Description
We Were On Fire is Monty Webber's first attempt at a longer form novella, drawing on his chaotic formative years in surf culture. Through the character of Hiro san, a naive Japanese lad on pilgrimage to one of Australia's surfing meccas, the book celebrates and critiques Bondi's hedonistic '80s surfing milieu.
The events that unfold take us on a wild ride into some of the darker corners of Australian surf culture, shining an unflattering light on its four pillars: sun, surf, booze, and mateship. This is a sobering look at a bygone era, one that challenges our perceptions of a carefree past.
With its unique blend of humor and critique, We Were On Fire offers a fascinating glimpse into the Australian surf culture of the 1980s. If you're interested in this period or enjoy stories about the complexities of youth culture, this novella is worth considering.
