ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton follows the life of Eli Bell, a young boy growing up in 1980s Brisbane. Raised in a broken family, Eli faces numerous challenges, including his mother's struggles with addiction, his stepfather's violent tendencies, and the silence of his brother, August. As Eli navigates the darkness surrounding him, he forms a bond with unlikely figures, including a former convict named Slim, who teaches him about survival and resilience. The novel explores themes of family, love, trauma, destiny, and the search for hope amidst overwhelming adversity, all while blending darkness and light.
