Clean Straw for Nothing by George Johnston follows the disillusioned war correspondent David Meredith as he struggles to reconcile his idealistic dreams with the untidy realities of postwar life, fractured relationships, and a changing Australia. Set largely on a Greek island where Meredith retreats in search of clarity, the novel traces his introspection, regrets, and creative frustrations while revealing the emotional fallout from fame, displacement, and personal failure. Through its shifting structure and candid self-examination, the book paints a vivid portrait of a man caught between worlds—geographical, emotional, and moral—seeking meaning in a life that no longer resembles the one he imagined.
