In 2004 it was selected by the Brisbane City Council as the joint-winner of the annual One Book One Brisbane competition to find the book that best represents Brisbane. Johnno shared the honours with another, more recent, debut novel, The Girl Most Likely by Rebecca Sparrow.[1] It is one of the best known "Brisbane" novels ever written.[2]
The book has been adapted for the stage. It premiered at Brisbane's La Boite Theatre in 2006[3][4] and then transferred to the Derby Playhouse.
