Today, Monkey Grip is regarded as a masterpiece—the novel that shines a light on a time and a place and a way of living never before presented in Australian literature: communal households, music, friendships, children, love, drugs, and sex.

   Feb 15, 2020 · Helen Garner’s Monkey Grip unpicks the relationship between Nora and Javo. It’s predominantly a story of addiction – Javo has a drug habit and Nora has a ‘Javo-habit’. As frequently as Javo says he is giving up drugs, Nora says she’s done with Javo. Neither stop and that is essentially the beginning and end of the story.

   Is Monkey Grip a good book?

   • Sure, there are things that date Monkey Grip (I'm looking at you, Brandy Alexanders), but rather than making it irrelevant it simply makes it a nice time-capsule of 70s Melbourne, a bygone place. Furthermore, she introduced a very contemporary voice to Australian literature, which had previously been, perhaps, self-consciously British.

   What is Monkey Grip Like?

   • Reading Monkey Grip is like wading through the rubble of that decaying dream. Strung out sleepless nights on coke, methadone and formless heartache. The baking streets of North Fitzroy as filthy as the diacetylmorphine in your veins. Garner’s writing is pure fire.

   How does garner introduce the characters?

   • Junkies steal things from their non junkie lovers. Garner does not introduce characters; they just walk into the room and she continues talking as if we've already met. They have names like Georgie, Paddy, Chris and Joss, and she often leaves their gender hanging for some time. Often you aren't sure if they are children or adults.
