The Mozart Maulers: Memoir of a Football Legend by Dorian Mode

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Entertaining memoir of Sydney writer and jazz musician Dorian Mode. It tells the story of the rugby league team, dubbed the "Mozart Maulers", that he put together with other students while an undergrad at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. A light and enjoyable read, though at times the author's self-effacing fictionalizing gets a little tedious: the passages that are genuinely funny and moving are, for the most part, the ones where he isn't trying to crack a witty pun or one-liner.
