Second cab off the rank is a darker gem but nonetheless a classic.
Praise by Andrew McGahan.
Labelled as part of the "Grungelit" movement of the 90's but actually so much more. Praise is the story of a loser Gordan Buchanan, who finds his dead end job in a bottle shop too challenging and decides to go on the dole instead. A barmaid, Cynthia Lamonde, latches onto him, she has severe excema, a history of heroin addiction and is a chronic nymphomaniac.
For a while it works. They drift through life in a haze of alcohol, drugs and sex.
Brilliant novel, it's what Bukowski would have written had he been Australian.
