Les Murray - Fredy Neptune

 



Fredy Neptune: A Novel in Verse is a verse novel by the Australian poet Les Murray. Told in eight-line stanzas, Fredy Neptune describes the experiences of Fred Boettcher, an Australian of German parentage, during the years between the world wars

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, his humor and potent use of imagery creates a run on mill imagination that engages and sustains, reading 4 hours on a stretch.

What a story 

I suspect Eiichiro Oda must have read Fredy Neptune for creating some characters in One Piece especially some of the Shipcrew off Prop Sabres (Book 3)
