About this listen

Frank and Philby meet at university. Frank is the king of cool and dysfunctionally libidinous. Philby is nervous, nerdy and dysfunctionally insecure. Somehow, they form a team, and go about chasing girls, passing their degrees and surviving many a green drink experience. The hilarious misadventures of Frank and Philby are just part of what lies between the covers of Headgames. There's also a difficult unicorn, a shampoo fetish, a cyber romance, a shopping mall that goes on forever, a fishing trip with Keanu Reeves and much, much more.

Editorial reviews

Headgames details the mishaps of two lads in Brisbane looking for love and liquor, but that's certainly not all. Eighteen offbeat stories make up this sometimes surreal audiobook. Watch out for appearances from the grumpy unicorn and Keanu Reeves. Australian actor Francis Greenslade climbs right into these boys' heads. He handles the "bro" tone of the main storyline easily enough. For the more bizarre tales, though, he adapts a slower, eerie sound. With Greenslade at the helm of this audiobook, it is a wild ride.

Critic Reviews

"Earls dissects character with an unflinching eye and exploits awkward and painful situations brilliantly." (The Age)
"This is a book that you will want to keep by you, to read and reread: you would be hard-hearted indeed to resist its quite extraordinary appeal." (The Sydney Morning Herald)
"Witty and sad, Earls strikes the perfect balance for a fun and thoughtful reading experience." (The Sun Herald)
"My first giggle occurred on page three ... and I didn't stop giggling, laughing or thinking during the rest of Earls' delightful new work." (The Sunday Herald Sun)
