Lennie Lower wrote the novel "Here's Luck" in 1929. This novel deals with the twists and turns of befalling Jack Gudgeon and his son Stanley. When Jack's wife Agatha suddenly leaves them, both go it alone on a wild rampage through Sydney's race courses, gambling dens, pubs and cafes. Cyril Pearl, a noted Sydney journalist and Lower's editor, described "Here's Luck" in the following terms: "It remains pre-eminently Australia's funniest book, as ageless as Pickwick or Tom Sawyer, a work of 'weird genius', as one reviewer put it, written by a 'Chaplin of words'".
