Meet the Deans

'The fact is, the whole of Australia despises my father more than any other man, just as they adore my uncle more than any other man. I might as well set the story straight about both of them.'

Heroes or Criminals? Crackpots or Visionaries? Relatives or Enemies?

It's a simple family story...

About the Author

Industry Reviews
'Riotously funny. . . deserves a place next to A Confederancy of Dunces.' - Wall Street Journal

'A rich father-and-son story packed with incident, humour and characters reminiscent in styles of Charles Dickens and John Irving. . . A Fraction of the Whole soars like a rocket.' - LA Times

'A grand achievement and the debut of a great comic talent. But it also has a heart. . . go away and read it.' - Sunday Times

'Toltz brings all the energy and assurance of a young Peter Carey to this burlesque, bravura performance.' - Irish Times

'A gloriously absorbing, preposterous and funny excursion to the brink of madness and the meaning of life.' - Sunday Telegraph
