The Sturgeon General is an anthology of comedic writing, compiling short works of fiction and non-fiction and other miscellany for the hilarious good of all. Each issue features the work of a single comedy writer.
This edition is a collection of non-fiction articles from writer Geoff Lemon. It includes his article from 2011 'You Shut Your Goddamn Carbon Taxin Mouth' – an hilarious rant against the nay-sayers of the proposed carbon tax, which was a viral phenomenon. The collection also includes an array of inspired and witty political and travel writing, including an epic series of misadventures in South America. Geoff Lemon edits veteran literary anthology Going Down Swinging. He's variously a political satirist, sports writer, spoken word performer, festival director, and broadly published poet, as well as on one occasion writing erotic fan fiction about The Wiggles. He discusses and commentates sport on RRR, the ABC and Roar Radio, and writes the political and social commentary site Heathen Scripture.
