Morse Code for Cats Tom Conyers 3rd edition

Coming of age ... coming out. Sam wants life to be the way it is in books - one meaningful moment after another - so exchanging the country for the city on the eve of a new millennium presents a wonderful world of possibility. Sex, drugs, sport, a new circle to move in, plus a chance to make money doing something he loves: his fresh start offers it all. 
 
But reality soon becomes more potboiler than literary masterpiece, and Sam finds himself re-examining the books that have inspired him. Perhaps there he can find what he needs to be 'good at life' before his own spirals completely out of control. 
 
Contemporary ... insightful ... raw ... funny at times, and at times intensely moving, Morse Code for Cats is an outstanding addition to Australian fiction.
