Witty and seductive, inventive and disturbing, The Bay Of Contented Men ranges in location from east to west coast Australia, to the United States, Japan and Hong Kong. This is the neighbourhood of edgy suburbanite Australians whose desires and misadventures are conjured here into intriguing fictions. Robert Drewe's characters face the confrontations of gender, race & generations with an ironic desperation born of love, lust and wistful memory.
