An autobiographical novel about family, politics, ideology and estrangement, Serpent’s Tooth explores the relationship between a son and his father across forty years of revolutionary politics in Australia and abroad. The novel follows the author’s father, Bruce Milliss, from Catholic respectability into communism, and traces the emotional and political distance that opens between father and son.
