A country town explodes with bigotry and hate. At thirty, Andrew feels he's experienced everything life on Oxford Street can offer. It's time for a break. He heads north to visit his mother and grandfather in a small isolated coastal town. But instead of simplicity and tranquility, he finds a community in upheaval. A spate of shocking vandalism has unsettled everyone; there's religious revivalism, Hansonite politics, and homosexuality of a more dangerous, closeted kind. In exposing the town's secrets, Andrew has to fight; not only for justice but also for his life. Trashtown is a family saga documenting the breakdown of Australian small town values; a story both funny and sad, shocking and familiar. < Chapter 1 available as a free pdf. Download now |
