Duncan Sarkies

Penguin Group (NZ) Ltd is delighted to announce the publication of Duncan Sarkies first novel: Two Little Boys.

A new and irreverent comedy by Duncan Sarkies, the writer of the movie Scarfies and the award-winning book Stray Thoughts and Nosebleeds.  

This book has got a lot of good bits.
It's got bogans and penguins and toasted sandwiches and spotting knives.
It's got a dead cat and an awesome climax.
It's got a really little dolphin.
It's got hundreds of hard-ons.
It's got sea lions.
It's got God.
It's got a really cool lighthouse.

When Nige runs over a Norwegian backpacker while attempting to save petrol, his life really turns to shit. He chucks the body in a nearby road works and runs to his best mate of fifteen years, Deano. Trouble is, Deano's not really the guy you should turn to in a crisis. This off-kilter tale of male camaraderie is a bizarre debacle from start to thrilling finish.

‘This is the most amazing book. It's dark, wildly funny, vivid, and brilliantly original.'
- Fiona Farrell

‘Twisted, surprising and very very very funny. Did I put too many verys? I don't think so.'
- Jemaine Clement, ‘Flight of the Conchords'
