Description
Shadbolt, Holden. Gender: male. Age: 34.Model: Australian. No frills.Holden’s Performance is the sprawling life story of Holden Shadbold: a hilarious all-Australian trajectory from car maniac to cinema bouncer to Prime Ministerial bodyguard. Guileless and matter of fact, Holden is fated to follow the flamboyant people around him- ex-Corporal McBee, who zealously woos Holden’s mother; his Uncle Vern, a short-sighted proof -reader with a fondness for eating the morning paper with his cereal; and Harriet, the crippled poster artist, whose twists and curves intersect with Holden’s unswervingly straight lines…

| Review Quote | Very amusing, ironic and wise… a success, no doubt about it |
| Other text | A novel of epic proportions. It's not merely about characters and events, but also about shapes and landscapes, history and the future, fact and falsehood, light and darkness… He writes with a rare perception of the Australian struggle for a defineable identity in bold, inventive, often wildly funny prose |
