Lower wrote across the Labor Daily, the Daily Guardian, Beckett’s Budget, Australian Women’s Weekly and the Daily Telegraph. Writing during the years of the Depression and WWII, Lower’s columns were essential reading for those needing cheering up and his novel, Here’s Luck (1930), became a classic of Australian humour. Lower died in 1947 but his genuine style, a blend of realism, absurdity, satire and wit, has rendered his work timeless.view less
