This is one of my old trade paperbacks that I got on the Internet and finished Mo 6/4/07 at The Club. I had 'dispatched all day'.
Refinished New Years Day, Mo 1/1/18. I've got the Heath Ledger movie on order from Netflix, and I can't wait to see it- again.
This might just be the best Junkie Love Story ever written or at the very least, the best that I have read.
Set in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia during the 90's (published 1997)
PROLOGUE
Part One: Invincibility
Part Two: The Kingdom of Momentum
Part Three: The Momentum of Change
Epilogue
Within the 'Parts', each chapter has a one word title that sums up the content.
In the end, they split up; months and years later he hears isolated facts about Candy, and then he completely loses touch with her. Life goes on....for those lucky enough to stick around.
A description from Amazon Books-
"Painful, sexy, tender, and charged with dark humor, Candy provocatively charts the daily rituals of two lovers maintaining a long-term junk habit. Told in stunningly vivid prose and set against the backdrop of suburban and urban Australia, Candy is both an electrifying and frightening glimpse of contemporary life and love."
