AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Australia's most intrepid Jew finds out just how precarious identity can be. 'This house is freaking me out. It's bad for me. But I'm finishing this.' Discovering Kanye West is praising Adolf Hitler, John Safran heads to America to find out what's up. Kanye proves elusive, one thing tumbles into another, and John packs his duffle bags and moves in, squatting at one of Kanye's mansions in the rolling hills of Los Angeles. Will the neighbours get wise and snitch to the cops? Are the creatures in the woods behind the mansion a worry? Will Kanye return? More paranoid each day, John becomes convinced the house itself is turning against him. Alone with his thoughts in Kanye's haunt, John finds himself asking where he fits into the world as a Jew. Dangerous and hilarious, Squat examines just how precarious identity and belonging can be.' (Publication summary)
