John Niven's little brother Gary was fearless, popular, stubborn, handsome, hilarious, and sometimes terrifying. In 2010, he took his own life at the age of 42. Tracking the lives of two brothers in changing times - from illicit cans of lager in 70s sitting rooms to ecstasy in 90s raves - O Brother is a tender, affecting and often uproariously funny story. It is about the bonds of family and how we try to keep the finest of those we lose alive.
