Deadly, Unna? Series

Nukkin Ya is the sequel to Phillip Gwynne's novel 'Deadly, Unna?' and continues the story of the protagonist, Gary 'Blacky' Black, a young man living in a small Australian town. In this follow-up, Blacky is dealing with the aftermath of his friend Dumby Red's death and the racial tensions that escalate between the white and Aboriginal communities. The title 'Nukkin Ya' is an Aboriginal phrase meaning 'see you later,' reflecting the themes of departure and change throughout the book. Blacky confronts issues of racism, love, and family as he matures and tries to find his place in a divided society. The novel explores themes of identity, belonging, and the challenges of standing up for what is right, even when it means going against the grain of one's community.
