Paul Kennedy
Paperback
Affirm Press

It is 1993: a serial killer is loose on the streets of Frankston Victoria. The community is gripped by fear and a states police force and national media come to find a killer. Meanwhile 17-year-old Paul Kennedy is searching for something else entirely. He is focused on finishing school playing football and being drafted. So much can change in a year. The rites of passage for many Australian teenage boys blackout drinking constant threats of violence and emotional suppression take their toll and the year that starts with so much promise ends with Paul getting expelled arrested and undrafted. But all is not lost and a teacher who sees Kennedy self-destructing sets him on another path. Funkytown is Pauls love letter to football a tribute to family and community leaders and an exploration of long-held secrets. Told with simplicity and humour it shines a light on other ways of crossing the bridge to masculinity.
