This is a finely tuned comic depiction of Melbourne's ethnically diverse northern suburbs, and the dark underbelly of city life. Carl works in the kitchen of a seedy rock 'n' roll joint in ethnically diverse Brunswick. He is down on his luck; constantly terrified by the bouncers and bosses taunts, desperately yearning for a young Greek waitress and living with his mother. Then a dead body turns up. Following an altercation with a drug dealer, Carl must enlist the help of his best mate Dave to fix the 'problem' fast. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It contains racism, which I guess is to be expected of a book from that time and a fair bit of sexism. Though the racism and sexism are mostly Carl's, while Dave is a lot less so and supports his wife's feminism in the whole and likes how multicultural Brunswick is, so I guess from that perspective it's more modern than it first appears.
I dunno, might have to stew on it for a bit. (
