Portrait of a devil as a young swimmer
Par Alfred J. Kwak
Sprawling and very eventful, often raw and shocking novel about relentless ambition and fear of failure. Also full of minor emotions like jealousy for richer class mates, shame of one’s parents and emerging, passionate or protective feelings about certain boys he meets when given the chance to attend an elite secondary on the strength of his swimming talent. Time wise the novel switches constantly and readers are given searing accounts of the formative events and incidents during different phases in the life of Daniel Kelly (DK), never chronologically, always via flashbacks of a younger DK by an older version of him. By following DK in this way from age 15 to 30, Christos Tziolkas (CT) has composed a literary thriller without a murder. But the threat of murder is ever present, throughout the book...‘Barracuda’ is situated mainly in Melbourne, Australia, with intermezzos in Japan, Scotland and Hong Kong. CT describes Australia as a lonely continent crazy about sport because it doesn’t excel in much else. And as a former British colony where racism, xenophobia and class consciousness thrive as never before. DK’s dad is/was a long-distance trucker, his mother a hairdresser, working class. At his new school DK feels shunned, but continues to rise at 4.30 am for early training practise. His mum helps him in every possible way to accomplish his ultimate goal: winning gold for Australia in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. But fate rules otherwise and it transforms Danny into Dan, a quite different person. Or not?Tziolkas is an excellent writer. His occasionally shocking ‘The Slap’ sold 1.2 m copies worldwide. This book may possibly attract fewer buyers/readers: (1) Domestic readers may take offense at his highly polemic portrayal of Australia, a rainbow nation of people with roots elsewhere. (2) Profane language use and descriptions of gay lovemaking may deter readers and libraries. (3) Few readers are likely to recommend it to friends and relatives, because of DK’s rather hateful personality and character. The way DK turns on his father late in the book, is unforgivable and evil.This novel brims with ideas and feelings about love and hate, shame and remorse, taking charge or letting it all go. Kept me off the streets for a week. Almost a true masterpiece.

Thought provoking
Par Client d'Amazon
Yes, what the author depicts is rather crude at times but it rings true. It rings true to who Danny is, what he goes through. This book is blunt, it is forceful and doesn't shy away from the bleakest aspects of one's reality when one is a crushed athlete seeking to redefine himself in an ever changing world.
