"Jonah" by Louis Stone is a novel published in 1911. Set in the slums of Sydney, it follows Jonah, a hunchback larrikin who leads a street gang called the "Push." When he becomes a father, his world shifts dramatically, forcing him to confront his past and attempt to escape the violent, impoverished life he's always known.
