Superbly readable account of Frank's life on the road. At this stage in his career he really was an accomplished writer.

So farewell Mr Gibson and your faithful dog Prince

Frank has just lost his virginity which is strange considering he'd already lost his virginity in 'Banana Boy' (1969). Perhaps that's why Frank describes 'Dodgem Greaser' as a novel - because he's taken a few liberties with the truth.

I'm thoroughly enjoying 'Dodgem Greaser' (1971), my fourth book by Frank Norman. If anything it's even better than 'Banana Boy' (1969) because I find life working on a travelling fairground in 1947 intrinsically more interesting than growing up in Barnado's children's homes.
