About this listen

Redmond Campbell's luck has just taken a turn for the worse. His dog's dead, his wife, Bea, has landed in prison, and he has to look after Bea's sister, Lori – a wildly disinhibited woman with Huntington's disease – who hates him. And Redmond's nephew, Mada, a PhD student searching for a cure for the disease that's killing his mother, doesn't give Red the respect he deserves.

But Red is about to change all that. He's got plans to become Sydney's leading property agent, and he's about to make a connection that will line him up a killing. It's legal too. Well, almost. What matters is that Red has a whiff of success, and he's damn sure everything's about to come up roses.

Funny and moving, profound and profane, both an intimate family drama and an incisive parable of capitalism and collapse, this is an anarchic, joy-filled story from one of Australia's most exciting authors.

Critic reviews

'A sharply observed, hugely entertaining satire...with this propulsive, urgent, driving rhythm.' (Australian Arts Review)

'Sellheim develops the structure of each character’s experience – how they relate one to another, their inner lives, and their position within society and how experience changes their awareness. This is accomplished with a light touch, discrete pieces of information woven through a witty narrative. And the characters are so engaging!' (Queensland Reviewers Collective)

'A literary love letter to east coast of Australia.' (The Canberra Times)
