Praise by Andrew McGahan

In humid, late-night Brisbane, a disaffected young man drifts through cigarettes, asthma attacks, and dead-end jobs while tumbling into a raw, mutually destructive relationship with a volatile woman. Their days blur into sex, drugs, and alcohol as they navigate dependency, apathy, and bodily decay, confronting the bleak humor and suffocating inertia of a life where escape seems both urgently needed and impossibly out of reach.
