«L'ivresse du Kangourou» is a collection of humorous short stories by Kenneth Cook, published by J'ai Lu in paperback (219 pages, in French).
Kenneth Cook recalls an old man from Walgett who owns a kangaroo named Les, fond of striking with its legs like a boxer. When Les takes to drinking, he becomes a threat to everyone. The memory leads Cook to reflect on the Outback and on nature versus culture: nature, he argues, is not innocent.
Work originally published as «Frill Necked Frenzy» in 1987. This paperback edition, published in 2015 by J'ai Lu, was a promotional gift with the purchase of two titles from the publisher.
For readers of humor, short stories and Australian literature, particularly those interested in the Outback and the work of Kenneth Cook.
