Ernest Price Book Launch (SOLD OUT)
Join us for the release of Price’s debut novel The Pyramid of Needs — a darkly funny family drama about transphobia, political identity and family dysfunction.
Linda Taylor is livestreaming her glamourous life as an alternative health guru when she trips over in front of her followers ? and can't get up. When Linda's children, Jack and Alice, find out she's broken her hip and can't care for their ailing father or pay her bills, they decide to help. There's just one problem: Jack hasn't spoken to Linda since he came out as a trans man over a decade ago.
As the family gets together in Noosa and thunder clouds gather overhead, will family ties be enough to disentangle years of hurt, prejudice and pyramid-scheme brainwashing? Or will Jack have to cancel his mother for good? The Pyramid of Needs is a dark, wry and deeply illuminating examination of family dynamics in a world full of division and misinformation.
