The Australian National Library says it is " a revealing expose of life behind the scenes at The Canberra Times. Stink is characterised by AustLit as being about " Marriage conflict, psychological stress, disillusionment, love affairs, ambition". Chris's brother Mark, unlike Chris still (at least for the time being) a Canberra Times journalist, wrote Stink of a Journalist in 2006, and got it pretty much spot on. Harriet has apparently been nicknamed "Harry", but she is not the he that Uhlmann and Lewis created. This may sound sexist of me, but male journalists know how veteran male journalists behave, and Uhlmann and Lewis wouldn't have done a young female reporter very well at all. He's a " seasoned newshound" in a sea of TV anchors who, amusingly, "simper and fawn". In the Uhlmann-Lewis books, Harriet was Harry, a "veteran journalist" and a vastly more believable character. For me, however, the saddest part is that Harriet Dunkley has changed sex.
