520			_a"The Awful Australian" by Valerie Desmond is a critical examination of Australian society written in the early 20th century. This book falls into the category of social commentary or satirical prose, addressing various aspects of Australian culture, politics, manners, and identity. It likely reflects the attitudes and observations of a foreign observer during a time when Australia was still solidifying its identity as a nation. In "The Awful Australian," Desmond critiques the self-satisfaction and perceived arrogance of Australians, arguing that they often overestimate their country and themselves. Through a series of essays, she touches on topics such as the incompetence of Australian politicians, the unique Australian accent that she finds unrefined, manners that she perceives as lacking, and the general attitude of Australians towards their culture and beauty standards. Each chapter scrutinizes different facets of life in Australia, painting a picture of a society struggling with self-awareness, democratic ideals, and its connection to its British heritage, all while incorporating humor and sharp wit to engage the reader.
