‘I’ll probably never look at Aussie Rules in quite the same way. While redefining the Australian literary boundaries of bacchanalia, in Pissants Brandon Jack – startlingly, shockingly and often hilariously – turns the footy sausage inside-out to expose the blood, guts, desperation and human frailty at its core. It ain’t pretty. But it sure is a powerfully evocative, elegant, and very daring novel.’

– Paul Daley, Guardian writer and author of Jesustown

'Brandon Jack has talent and daring in abundance'

– Christos Tsiolkas

'Brandon Jack is a force for good'

– Michelle Andrews and Zara McDonald, hosts of the Shameless podcast

– Tim Rogers
