NIGHT GAMES: SEX, POWER AND SPORT
Book ID/图书代码： 01899513B61497
English Summary/英文概要： The Pies beat the Saints and the city of Melbourne was still cloaked in black and white crepe paper when the rumour of a pack rape by celebrating footballers began to surface. By morning, the head of the sexual crimes squad confirmed to journalists that they were preparing to question two Collingwood players ... And so, as police were confiscating bed sheets from a townhouse in Dorcas Street, South Melbourne, the trial by media began.’— Night Games
In the tradition of Helen Garner’s The First Stone comes another closely observed, controversial book about sex, con-sent and power. At the centre of it is Anna Krien’s account of the rape trial of a footballer.
Krien offers a balanced and fearless look at the dark side of footy culture – the world of Sam Newman, Ricky Nixon, Matty Johns, the Cronulla Sharks and more. What does a young footballer do to cut loose? At night, some play what they think of as pranks, or games. Night games involving women. These games sometimes involve consensual sex, but sometimes they don’t, and sometimes they fall into a grey area.
Both a courtroom drama and a riveting piece of first-person narrative journalism, this is a breakthrough book from one of the young leading lights of Australian writing.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “派打败了圣徒，但是当强奸团伙的谣言通过庆祝足球队员的活动开始浮现的时候，墨尔本市仍然被笼罩在黑色和白色的皱纹纸中。到了早晨，性犯罪小队的负责人向记者证实，他们准备向两个科林伍德球员提出质疑。由此，警方开始从南墨尔本的多加街查抄床单，媒体审判也开始了。”——《夜场游戏》
《海伦加纳的第一块石头》里的传统再一次被密切观察，这是一本有争议的书，关于性、反对派和权利。它的中心是Anna Krien对一个足球运动员的强奸指控。
Krien提供了足球文化黑暗面的平衡和无所畏惧——山姆•纽曼，瑞奇•尼克松，马蒂•约翰斯和Cronulla Sharks等人的世界。一个年轻的足球运动员做什么来放松？到了晚上他们会玩一些他们认为是恶作剧的游戏，夜场游戏涉及到妇女。这些游戏有时会涉及双方同意的性行为，但有时他们不这样做，有时他们陷入一个灰色地带。
一个吸引人的以第一人称叙述的新闻事件，同时也是一个法庭剧。这是一个年轻的澳大利亚领军人物的突破性写作。(LNL)
