Challenge | Paul Daley

1 post | 2 read

Fast-paced Australian political fiction, Challenge unfolds over three days in an atmosphere of treachery and deceit, amid a looming federal leadership challenge. Opposition leader Daniel Slattery is a former sporting hero from the wrong side of the tracks, politically principled and courageous, but also personally unhinged and highly volatile. He is determined to stand the political moral high ground while fighting for his job—and a rearguard action against the phantoms of his dark past. Who is working to trash his reputation and derail his one tilt at the prime ministership? Is it real—or just demons inside his head? Blistering and blackly comic, Challenge puts us into the shoes of a man whose life is slipping away as he confronts the abyss of modern Australian politics.

I loved this dissection of the mind of an ambitious politician from the wrong side of the tracks. Paul Daley is a Canberra insider and knows the people and the system he's writing about. The central character seemed to me be a clever amalgam of recent (and current) leaders of the Australian Labor Party. It may be incomprehensible to nonAustralians.
