A Suitable Man, Remarkable and Fascinating!
Sep 22, 2026
From multi-award-winning author Jock Serong comes a fascinating biography of the remarkable Fletcher Jones. In 1924, into the tiny town of Warrnambool, which then had a population of a fraction under 4000 people, there came a travelling salesman... Many Australians know of Fletcher Jones - the stores, the clothing, the daggy dad slacks - but few know the extraordinary man behind it all.
Jock Serong is the author of seven novels and now a biography of Fletcher Jones. A former criminal barrister, he was also the founding editor of Great Ocean Quarterly, writes widely for media and for screen, and has a PhD in Creative Writing. Jock is a board member of Melbourne's Wheeler Centre for Books, Writing and Ideas, and he also teaches aspiring authors, and works with judges on their writing through the Victorian and national judicial colleges.
