A sharp work of satirical fiction, "The Crushing" sets its sights on a 1920s Australian sugar town where small-town politics, wounded pride, and naked ambition collide, chronicling the rise and unraveling of local figures whose schemes of power rest on the most fragile of foundations, as McKie skewers provincial pretension with comic precision and exposes the absurdities of a community caught between tradition and modernity, its reputations as brittle as the industry driving it.
