Set in contemporary Sydney, among a fictional underworld family, \u003cem\u003eThe Truth about A \u003c\/em\u003enot only considers the issue of whether to obey the law or your conscience but delves into the nature of the creative impulse and the eternal bonds and chasms between generations. Antigone, daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, provokes the fury of the crime-overlord Creon with her profound sense of honour, family and duty. But this spirit of defiance raises questions infinitely more complex than the brute facts of power and order, engendering a meditation on justice, ethics and personal judgement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ginninderra Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136773767408,"sku":"9781760413606","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781760413606_p0.jpg?v=1763706641","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781760413606","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
