Fiona West has written a stunning debut novel: Perpetual Wake. When career maker
and breaker Paul Creel reviews the manuscript, he finds his life represented in
shocking detail. He finally feels understood.

The impressed Creel invites West for a casual ‘wine and chat’ two days before his review is to be published. But when they meet he discovers the book he considered
an elegant insight into the human mind, was intended as a hysterical satire!

Creel leaves the meeting determined to ensure that West's book will be buried before the year is out. But West is a tougher rival than he expects and so a war
begins.

From Australia's hottest theatrical outfit: The Last Great Hunt, comes PERPETUAL WAKE, a surreal dark comedy about the depths people sink to in order to conceal their shame.
