Annotation A revised version of the author's novel "The Fear", this is a portrait of urban Australia during World War II. It is the story of Daniel Jordan, a boy growing up in a working-class neighbourhood. The author also wrote "Schindler's Ark" and "Flying Hero Class". Publisher Description In wartime Sydney, young Daniel Jordan's life is dominated by two conflicting influences: the religion he imbibes at school and the communism of his terrifying neighbour, the 'Comrade'. Through Daniel's often amusingly confused view of the adult world, Thomas Keneally deftly explores the effects of rigid adherence to dogma and the fine line between innocence and guilt. Author Biography Thomas Keneally has been shortlisted for the Booker four times and won it with Schindler's Ark in 1982. His novels have been filmed (Schindler's List and The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith) and dramatised (The Playmaker). He has also written several works of non-fiction, including The Place Where Souls are Born, about the American Southwest, and Homebush Boy, a memoir. |
