Ned is 15. He and his friends while away their days smoking dope, trying to root chicks and surfing at Maroubra. Ned's life is only just beginning – tomorrow, some time.

Ned is 35. He and his mates drift through the days snorting cocaine, trying to root chicks, clinging to the pub and surfing at Bondi. For Ned, this is it – tomorrow never came.

What happens when life passes you by? When the drugs no longer work and the promise of the future has become the wreckage of the past? What happens when a generation of men lose their way?

Confrontingly honest, blackly funny, The Lost Boys is a compelling look at the dark side of being a 21st century man from a powerful new voice in fiction.

COMMENTS FROM BOOKTOPIA'S MANAGING EDITOR, TONI WHITMONT:

Melbourne Age writer Sam de Brito's writes a daily blog which tracks the pulse of Aussie manhood. In The Lost Boys, de Brito tells the story of Ned, a hedonistic loser for whom not much has changed in the twenty years since he was 15 and hanging out amongst the surgers chasing drugs and chicks (in that order) on Sydney's Maroubra Beach. Dark and funny, The Lost Boys is about what happens when life passes you by.
