Summary "Such Is Life" by Joseph Furphy is a novel that was likely written during the late 19th century. It explores the lives of various individuals in rural Australia, focusing on the experiences and perspectives of bullock drivers and the challenges they face in their daily lives, reflective of the broader human condition. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a narrator who contemplates his recent unemployment, suggesting a philosophical underpinning to the narrative. The setting unfolds as he recounts a journey alongside other bullock drivers and their interactions while traveling through the Australian landscape. These men discuss practical matters like travel accommodations and strategies for managing their livestock while revealing their personalities and past experiences through casual dialogue. The narrator's observations mingle humor and social commentary, hinting at the struggles and camaraderie inherent in their lifestyle as they confront both external challenges and internal dilemmas.
