Andrew McGahan's prize-winning 'Praise' is a stunningly frank and darkly humorous novel about being young in Australia. About living in a world where drugs and alcohol dominate, where sex scalds and soothes, where Social Security is easier to get than a job. Where survival means taking nothing and no one too seriously.
Winner of the Australian/Vogel Literary Award and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Book in the Pacific Region.
