Review
'Sex and sport is what it boils down to in the end Good plot, well-developed characters and Knox knows his cricket. Fair catch.' Qantas Magazine 'Knox's great strength is his ability to get beneath the surface of his characters, into the dark, private recesses of their minds. Reveals the Australian male at his best and worst.' Weekend Australian 'A dark, exacting triumph.' Newsweek 'A finely wrought family drama.' Sunday Telegraph, Sydney
Product Description
It is two days since Dr John Brand's death and his eldest son, Davis, suspects a cover-up. Survived by two sons, the death notice said. Peacefully. Someone has lied: there are three sons, and the circumstances of their father's death are suspicious. But the Sydney Test Match is on and Davis' famous brother Chris is batting to save his career while their mother Margaret watches the broadcast from her armchair. Hammett, the unacknowledged third brother, lurks on the edges, banished but not forgotten. Scattered across Sydney, the Brands' lives - and John Brand's funeral - are put on hold for the duration of the game: five days of suspense, silences, revelations, recriminations and redemption. Filtered through the lens of two arenas of masculinity - sport and pornography - "Adult Book" is at once a poignant story of a family's grief, an artfully constructed thriller and a provocative dissection of men and their private passions.
