This long lively essay from Phillip Stamatellis portrays the ‘biography’ of a café in Goulburn in the 1970s and 80s. We witness the café’s passing parade of motley customers through the eyes of the youngest son of the Greek immigrants who run it.
“…an enjoyable read… the nostalgia factor (the memories of Greek and Italian cafes or milkbars…) and the social history (the documenting of such cafes and the lives that surrounder them). Stamatellis captures all this nicely, from a young insider’s perspective.” Whispering Gums
Phillip Stamatellis was born into the hospitality industry and raised in his family’s café. He now refers to himself as a reformed capitalist, and now works in the mental health sector. He lives in Goulburn with his wife Janene and daughters Stephanie and Emma. Growing up Cafe is his first book.
