Three Dollars is Elliot Perlman’s acclaimed debut novel, a sharp and compassionate portrait of Eddie, a decent man trying to hold together his family, dignity, and sense of self in a world shaped by economic pressure, privatisation, downsizing, and social change.
Set in 1990s Australia, the novel blends humour, melancholy, social criticism, and psychological insight as it follows Eddie’s gradual unravelling and his reflections on love, work, memory, and moral responsibility.
