David Walsh's autobiography — the story of how a boy from Claremont in Hobart developed a system for gambling, became a multi-millionaire, and used that money to build MONA — the Museum of Old and New Art — on the former Morilla vineyard property at Berriedale on the Derwent River.
MONA opened in 2011 and changed Tasmania's cultural identity more significantly than anything in the island's recent history — drawing visitors from across the world to see a private art collection of extraordinary range and provocation, housed in a building carved into the sandstone cliff above the Derwent.
Walsh writes about gambling, art, death and his own idiosyncratic philosophy in the same voice he uses to talk to journalists — direct, deliberately provocative and often funny.
