About The Event
Ben Elton returns with Identity Crisis, a blistering comic satire of the world as it fractures around us. Get ready for a roller-coaster thriller, where nothing - and no one - is off limits! We're thrilled to have Ben join us for his only Sydney show, discussing Identity Crisis with Simon Marnie of ABC Radio.
About The Book
Identity Crisis is a rollicking read! A series of apparently random murders draws amiable, old-school Detective Mick Matlock into a world of sex, politics, reality TV and a bewildering kaleidoscope of opposing identity groups. Lost in a blizzard of hashtags, his already complex investigation is further impeded by the fact that he simply doesn’t ‘get’ a single thing about anything anymore.
