Critical receptionJudah Waten, in his survey of Australian fiction of 1962, in Realist Writer stated: "Twenty Three stories by John Morrison has added to his already considerable fame as a short story writer. It was widely reviewed in the press and even right-wing critics have conceded that these stories are authentic pictures of Australian life. This collection includes such outstanding stories as "Bo Abbott," a study of a militant waterside worker and "Morning Glory," a picture of the bourgeois mentality which places property above life."[2] See also
