ABOUT THE BOOK

"My name is Glen Farmer Illortaminni and I’m telling my story. Once I went to Paris as an interpreter for the old fella, the famous artist named Timothy Cook. It was October…"

When Glen travels from his remote Tiwi Island home all the way to Paris, his trip takes an unexpected turn when he gets lost on his first night there.

What follows is an epic journey through famous French landmarks and into the homes of kind strangers, telling an incredible story of resilience, humour and home.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Glen Farmer Illortaminni was born between the mango and mulana trees where the last old house was standing at Milikapiti, Melville Island. He joined Jilamara Arts &amp; Crafts Association in 1994 where he worked for many years as an artist and arts worker. Glen's work has been exhibited across Australia, including in the National Gallery of Victoria and the National Gallery of Australia.

Glen also worked at the Muluwurri Museum, a keeping place for Tiwi culture and an important place for remembering the old ways and the Old People.

Today, Glen works for Tiwi Enterprises at Milikapiti farm where he helps grow fruit and vegetables, including pineapples, sweet potato and limes, as well as caring for chickens, ducks and friendly water buffaloes. He enjoys travelling, the footy (Go, Tuyu Buffaloes!) and telling stories. Glen likes to go hunting and fishing, and spending time on Country.
