Wake In Fright: "A true dark classic of Australian literature."— J. M. Coetzee
May you dream of the devil and wake in fright.
John Grant knows he's in hell. What he doesn't know is how to escape. A young school teacher, Grant is returning to Sydney for the holidays, but must spend a night in an outback mining town on the way. He is introduced to the illegal two-up gambling ring and quickly loses all his money. In the company of some hard-bitten and disturbing locals he is drawn into a frightening spiral of alcohol and drugs that takes him to the darkest depths of the male psyche.
Forty years since it first appeared this novel remains fresh, compelling and utterly gripping. With an introduction by Peter Temple, and an afterword by acclaimed film critic David Stratton, this edition celebrates the re-release of the film adaptation, a cinematic classic, digitally restored and returned to the big screen in 2009.
Tuna: Written with compelling simplicity, Tuna recalls Hemingway's masterpiece The Old Man and the Sea.
Jack Foster, a tough Australian fisherman struggling to earn his living from the sea, has one all-consuming dream - to own his own tuna boat.
The chance of a bargain boat unexpectedly comes his way and Jack plunges deeply into debt to buy it. With a sudden twist of fortune, he finds himself with a week to make a big catch or lose everything he owns to his creditors. Tensions reach breaking point as Jack battles desperately against time and the sea to save his dream.
