 Dickins and the Rocket Man - theage.com.au
Brett Whiteley remains a controversial figure in the Australian cultural landscape, but since his squalid death in room four of the Beach Hotel in Thirroul on June 15, 1992, he is often seen in the monolithic terms of art and heroin.
Whiteley has been the subject of several biographies over the 10 years since his death, but Dickins says he sought to make his book more loquacious; seeking to write "poetic dissertations" on the weighty body of work, and source his collection of reminiscences in the art itself.
Sakir's final recollections of his friend are that Whiteley was sent fines about a late video - fines he never paid - and "a funny sort of last hug" the two men shared on their last meeting.
