Book Description
During the dangerous days of the 1980s and 1990s, the so-called ′Green Light′ days, few were more given to committing major crime or more notorious than Graham ′Abo′ Henry, the other half of a criminal partnership with Arthur ′Neddy′ Smith. In ′Abo′: A Treacherous Life, Jay Pring presents a criminal′s eye view of the workings of the ICAC, the National Crime Authority, the Federal police and the NSW Royal Commission. But more than that, it allows Graham Henry to explode many of the myths surrounding Neddy Smith and his ′gang′. Populated by a world of larger-than-life characters, living lives of criminality, extraordinary violence and intrigue, this is not a story for the faint-hearted.

Henry's Chapel
Author: Graham Guest
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781952386220
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
In Graham Guest's novel Henry's Chapel we watch a film by proxy, through the eyes of a narrator who offers a play-by-play account, complete with probing analysis, of Albarb Noella's Lawnmower of a Jealous God. Within this unusual frame we encounter the story of an isolated family in rural East Texas, a tragicomic tale of incest, abuse, mental illness and liberation. As meta-narrative and narrative merge into one another, the film's characters, its director, and implicitly the narrator and author themselves all become significant figures, while the film itself becomes both an immersive if ghostly medium and a distanced object of critical inquiry, its meaning and being inseparable from the metafictional organism that contains it. The final product is a kind of narratological incest heretofore unexplored.
