With preoccupations reminiscent of Elliot Perlman, The Danger Game is a work of literary realism, told through three voices in a pared-back style laced with black humour. The Danger Game is at once an unsentimental account of deprivation and resistance, and a critique of the human cost of untrammelled economic rationalism. Another outstanding novel from a leading small publisher of Australian fiction.
