Ronald McKie’s The Crushing presents a sharp, satirical novel set in a 1920s Australian sugar town, where small-town politics, ambition, and folly collide. This work of literary fiction chronicles the rise and unraveling of local figures entangled in schemes of power and pride, all against the backdrop of a booming but brittle industry. McKie illustrates the absurdities of rural life with comic precision, drawing out the tensions between tradition and modernity, community and individualism. The narrative skewers pretension and provincialism, while underscoring the fragility of reputations built on shallow foundations. Through crisp prose and pointed character studies, McKie crafts a vivid portrait of a town caught in the grip of its own illusions.
