Pleasant Avenue - The Sandman
Product Information Pleasant Avenue - The Sandman Pleasant Avenue is based on the Triple J radio serial of the same name. It has been developed from surveillance notes The Sandman kept in a pink box at the back of his wardrobe during his 21st year. The story begins two weeks before his 21st birthday when he overhears a loud noise at the Gumleys' (his nextdoor neighbours). What he sees when he investiagates is so curious he decides to place the Gumleys under observation. the Deeper he digs the weirder the Gumley appear... Pleasant Avenue is Sandy's rite of passage. He discovers secrets give you power and having money stretches your pants. We encounter gambling, assault, sex, death, mental decay, treason, a 21st birthday party, more eavesdropping than you can poke a stick at, and yet, in true Sandman style, nothing seems to happen. There are more characters and more similes than ever before, but by the time the plastic lid is removed from the tupperware container that is Pleasant Avenue, we find the same unsatisfying vegetables inside. Perfect. This softcover volume was published by ABC Books (triple j) in 1999. It has bumping and rubbing to the corners and edges.
