For a long time Western Sydney has been the political flash-point of the nation, but it has been absent from Australian literature. Luke Carman’s first book of fiction a collection of monologues and stories which tells it how it is on Australia’s cultural frontier. His young, self-conscious but determined hero navigates his way through the complications of his divorced family, and an often perilous social world, with its Fobs, Lebbos, Greek, Serbs, Grubby Boys & scumbag Aussies, friends & enemies. He loves Whitman & Kerouac, Leonard Cohen & Henry Rollins, is awkward with girls, and has an invisible friend called Tom. Carman’s style captures the voices of the street, and conveys fear and anger, beauty and affection, with a restless intensity.
