Plot Summary:
|
This fib is a portrayal from an Australian man who falls in relationship with two kinds of Sweetmeats: a woman of the same name and heroin. The relator changes from a brilliant-aleck to someone trying to find a vein to bring in, while Confectionery changes from an actress, call dame, streetwalker, and then a madwoman. Starting in Sydney, the two finally end up in Melbourne to go clean, but they be deficient. This leads them to turn to finding cold hard cash and heroin, while other posessions and attachments become unimportant.

Divided into three portentously titled chapters, 'Heaven', 'Hell' and 'Earth', Candy begins with the new lovers, the would-be poet Dan (Ledger) and ...
