The author, Dominic Bonadio, describes his book as follows:

I have owned restaurants in East Melbourne since 1981 so most of my working life has been in the area. The name of the book is Che Fortuna and is about my grandfather who went to US in 1900 to my father being a POW in Algeria in WW2 to him coming to Australia in 1952 and then subsequently to my life in the hospitality industry since 1972.
