Memoir by Brentley Frazer
Scoundrel Days is a memoir by Australian contemporary poet Brentley Frazer. Described as a gritty, Gen X memoir, recounting wild escapades into an under-culture of drugs and violence and sex by ABC Radio National and by the publisher as Tom Sawyer on acid, a 21st-century On the Road, a Holden Caulfield for punks, literary critic Rohan Wilson compared Frazer's ability to shock, surprise and unsettle with that of Marcel Duchamp, concluding: Frazer is writing here in the tradition of Helen Garner, Andrew McGahan and Nick Earls.This is dirty realism at its dirtiest.
