Ian Mckean
Ian has not won any literary awards but, with a mid-life crisis looming just around the corner, he would desperately like to. The fame, money and private jets that would undoubtedly flow from such an achievement would allow him to travel and embrace a more superficial, materialistic lifestyle that is so difficult to find in inner-city Sydney today. He spent his formative years in the literary capital of North West Queensland – Mt Isa, a town which has given us such great sporting stars as Greg Norman and Pat Rafter.
Ian is currently undertaking a post graduate journalism course at UTS and writes the occasional television review for the Weekend Australian newspaper. This is appropriate as, according to his wife, he is a very critical person. His sharp, critical eye has been turned to many well-known programs including Big Brother, Temptation, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Sunrise and My Restaurant Rules.
