Sinopse
Características

In the darkest days of World War II, Ethel Malley lives a quiet life on Dalmar Street, Croydon. One day she finds a collection of poems written by her late (and secretive) brother, Ern. She sends them to Max Harris, co-editor of modernist magazine Angry Penguins. He reads them and declares Ern an undiscovered genius. Determined to help publish the poems, Ethel moves in with Max and soon becomes a presence he cant understand, or control. He gets the feeling somethings not quite right. About Ethel. About Ern. Then two poets come forward claiming they wrote Erns poems.What follows is part-truth, part-hoax, a dark mystery as surreal as any of Erns poems. Max wants to believe in Ern, but to do this he has to believe in Ethel, and attempt to understand her increasingly unpredictable behaviour. Then hes charged with publishing Erns pornographic poems. The questions of truth and lies, freedom of speech, and tradition versus modernism play out in a stifling Adelaide courtroom, around the nations wirelesses, and in Maxs head.Based on Australias greatest literary hoax, Sincerely, Ethel Malley explores the nature of creativity, and human frailty. It drips with the anaemic blood of Australian literature, the gristle of a culture weve never really trusted.
