Ă propos de ce livre
Ned Kelly is about to hang for his crimes. But his final night in prison is interrupted by the arrival of his brother Dan, disguised as a priest. Supposedly killed at the Siege of Glenrowan, Dan is intent on moving north to Queensland and forgetting his past. To do so, he needs Ned's blessing and forgiveness. But the last time they saw each other, Dan tried to shoot Ned dead.So begins a brutal confrontation by two titans of Australian history. Facing the sins of their past, each blames the other for their downfall. And neither will escape unharmed.Dramatically entwining fact, theory and myth, Kelly is a smartly written, complex and gripping tale of masculinity, brotherhood and the dangerous dynamic of mateship.

NED KELLY in his gaol cell, hands cuffed and chained together.
A GUARD enters.
NED: Fuck, youâre an ugly bastard.
GUARD: You have a visitor.
NED: Not in a general sense either. Itâs a very specific lack of appeal you suffer from. Itâs your eyes. You have pigâs eyes. Has anyone ever told you that? Theyâre bastards if they havenât. Man deserves to know if he resembles a pig. How are you supposed to know? Canât look at yourself. Not with any objectivity on the matter.
GUARD: Do you want your visitor or not?
NED: Who is it?
GUARD: A priest.
NED: Christ. Are there any left in the whole of Melbourne?
GUARD: This one says he knows you.
NED: Havenât they all said the same thing?
GUARD: Iâll tell him no then?
NED: Did you give them my letter?
GUARD: Yes. I did.
NED: And?
GUARD: And they agreed. Said fair was fair.
NED: My mother?
GUARD: Released.
NED: Sheâs free?
GUARD: Staying with your family. In some big fancy hotel.
NED: My funeral?
GUARD: Agreed to that to.
NED: A cemetery? Consecrated ground I asked for.
GUARD: Oh, yes. Headstone. Whole works.
NED: Right. Right then.
NED laughs to himself, satisfied.
GUARD: Kelly. Iâm lying. [Laughing] Theyâre not letting that mad bitch out of gaol.
NED advances on the GUARD. The GUARD draws his truncheon.
NED stops.
You go right ahead, Kelly. You just keep walking straight towards me.
NED: Would you do well, I wonder? Better than the other ones at least? Because they didnât do very well at all.
GUARD: Heard they picked a nice spot for your body. Out in the yard. Where the boys take their shit. Heard they want to bury you with your mouth open. Face up, nice and grateful like, for when it makes its way down to you.
NED: Is that right?
GUARD: Yeah, thatâs right.
NED: Well, at least Iâm handsome. Unlike yourself, whoâs so ugly the loneliest dog in the world wouldnât fuck your face.
The GUARD laughs. NED joins him.
GUARD: Thatâs pretty funny.
NED: Thank you.
GUARD: Wonder if youâll be so funny tomorrow. Canât wait to see it myself. Got a nice little spot all picked out.
NED: Tell me where and Iâll give you a little wave. Thatâll be me being funny.
GUARD: Be hard to see me. Quite the crowd coming apparently.
NED: Well, I am very well known.
GUARD: Theyâre coming to see you get what you deserve.
NED: Deserve? Read the newspaper. Iâm a national fucking hero.
GUARD: I thought heroes got medals.
NED: Itâs a matter of great contention.
GUARD: What about Fitzpatrick? You a hero to him? The man you shot in your own home? Or Stringybark Creek? Coppers you killed in cold blood?
NED: Donât recall my blood being all that cold.
GUARD: What about Glenrowan? A few died there. Your whole gang if I recall. Your own brother. Burnt to a crisp, wasnât he? You a hero to him?
NED takes out a scrap of newspaper and rea...
