PLUM: Brendan Cowell
PLUM
by Brendan Cowell
Plum is Peter Lum, ex-NRL player, all Aussie hero, a bloke’s bloke, one woman’s man. Not much fazes Plum, though he is starting to wonder if there is more. Then the headaches and blackouts begin. On his doctor’s advice to reset, Plum struggles to find his centre and discovers …. poetry. And dead poets.
This is a tremendous about inarticulate men and their big, lyrical hearts. A highlight this summer and highly recommended.
