"Somebody buy Australian writer Nick Earls a drink. Or better still, hand him another prize (although he already has a bunch), because he has written THE MOST PERFECT NOVELLA IN THE HISTORY OF THE FORMAT . . . Gotham is a literary gem of the highest grade" - North & South Magazine
"This smart, precise, and beautiful novella reads like an emotional time bomb. Everything is quiet at first, then comes a slow build of tension, and then comes a strange ticking sound, and then - BOOM - suddenly your heart blows up. You can't write better than this. It's simply perfect." - Elizabeth Gilbert (Big Magic, Eat Pray Love)
Jeff Foster is in New York to interview Na$ti Boi, a nineteen-year-old rapper on the rise. They meet after hours at Bloomingdale's, where Na$ti is with his manager - and cousin - Smokey, on a shopping spree. Jeff is forty, from Australia, a Ramones fan and a rock journo as long as Na$ti's been alive. Na$ti has all the brashness and bravado that comes with the territory, but his credit card gets declined. And one particular purchase might be more than it seems ...
