Praise (Salacious Players' Club)

Product Information

Of course, to be able to trace the authorial lineage does not have the effect of totally damning McGahan, but there is a sense that all of the above-mentioned authors do it better. Finally, there’s Irvine Welsh, with plenty of freaky sex scenes and intravenous drug use, though, once again, it’s never really taken to its jaw-dropping outer edges. As a church leader and musician I want access to the absolute best of old and new, presented in contemporary and accessible language.

The book is an all-age collection - although with a focus on schools, many of the songs are particularly suitable for children. He and his live-in girlfriend Cynthia LaMonde, a waitress, inhabit a world of casual sex, plentiful drugs and partying till dawn, pastimes that don't really give Gordon much pleasure, plagued as he is by a sense of being unfulfilled. This book is a one-volume compilation of the hymn books "Come and Praise 1" (1978) and "Come and Praise 2" (1989).A bestseller in Australia, but without the superficial glamour of a Less Than Zero (to which its US publishers would like it compared). Facts and figures might differ, but true deep down truth emerges in a surprising and more universal way.

By 1997, the whole department of employment and immigration had changed, budget slashed, and Australia changed forever. With that author McGahan makes this feeling of nothingness work superbly well with a narrative led tale that suits the lack of warmth in any of the characters that appear in the book.

Praise’s characters voices are easy to track and reflect on nihilistic parts of the human experience that we have all lived at at least one point in our adolescence and deliver in such a way that is gritty yet humorous, making it accessible for all readers, despite any anxieties they may hold towards their own darkest thoughts. Curran cast film novices Peter Fenton (frontman of rock group Crow) and Sacha Horler (a new National Institute of Dramatic Art graduate at the time) in the highly challenging lead roles of Gordon and Cynthia. They soon move in together, and begin an often savage relationship precariously built on a shaky foundation of sex, booze, cigarettes, self-doubt and a singularly battered brand of love.
