Get ready for loosely connected, bawdy stories about the author and
his outrageous friends. Some tales come from the oil rigs Carter
worked on, but most take place in bars, where misogynistic alpha
males drown themselves in a sea of liquor. How about the one where
a bloke with a glass eye pops it into someone's beer, and the crowd
waits until the victim quaffs the last ounce to see it staring at
him from the bottom of his glass? Carter narrates the audiobook in
his working-class Australian accent, loaded with the national
vocabulary of 'mates', 'queuing', 'boiled sweets', and 'rubbing one
out' (think gas). His rapid narrative style leaves the listener
little time to ponder the novel metaphors, similes, and
analogies.
