Norman Lindsay’s Redheap is a biting work of social satire that presents the hypocrisies and sexual repression of small-town Australia through the lens of youthful rebellion and scandal. The novel chronicles the coming-of-age of young men in the fictional town of Redheap, where rigid moral codes clash with natural desire and intellectual curiosity. Lindsay argues that provincial life breeds hypocrisy and cruelty, and he illustrates how gossip, religious dogma, and social conformity suffocate individuality. The book was banned in Australia in 1930 for its candid treatment of sexuality and criticism of authority, making it the first Australian novel to be officially prohibited under customs law.
