New Beginnings (Brian Wren) – Hope Publishing Company (distributed in Europe by Stainer & Bell Ltd) 1993Salvation Army Tune Book, The (Music only publication) – Salvationist Publishing and Supplies Ltd 1928 It was the first book, almost one of the few books, I've read, where sex was a way the female character used to deal with physical pain, and perhaps also inner tumult. They were having sex cause they were both available, not because they were in love or crazy about each other physically. Praise is an utterly frank and darkly humorous novel about being young in the Australia of the 1990s.” As the story begins, narrator Gordon Buchanan quits his job at a drive-through bottle shop in Brisbane. 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. Love affairs gone bad and fantasies undercut by reality are the norm for a generation that stops doing something the moment it becomes work, that wants to win without competing because making an effort would render victory meaningless.

Gordon comes from Dalby, a two and half hour drive west from Brisbane. Dalby is the quintessential rural Queensland town, deeply white, conservative and religious. Large families abound with well-meaning parents who tend towards a rural outlook with a friendly attitude but a fear of outsiders and change. I worked with a man who was homosexual who came from Dalby and he had no choice but to move as coming out would have been a disaster for him and his family. Author McGahan is from Dalby as is his character Gordon. I wonder if there is a little bit of the author in Gordon. Gordon left Dalby and wandered into pub work in Brisbane. He eventually left that to go on the dole and with that fell into the sparse world of boarding house living, unenjoyable sex and unenjoyable drugs. He occasionally attempted to be a poet but found his own poetry a chore.

I must have been aged about six and, as we sang 'Sing Hosanna', I became aware of God near me and also in my mind. I felt such an overwhelming sense of joy and happiness. It was wonderful. And magical. Like a dream but real. Like this great big mystery had been revealed to me. I began to see God quite clearly and, after the hymn had finished, I simply wanted to worship what I had seen.
