'"Deadly, unna?" He was always saying that. All the Nungas did, but Dumby more than any of them. Dumby Red and Blacky don't have a lot in common. Dumby's the star of the footy team, he's got a killer smile and the knack with girls, and he's a Nunga. Blacky's a gutless wonder, needs braces, never knows what to say, and he's white. But they're friends... and it could be deadly, unna? This gutsy novel, set in a small coastal town in South Australia is a rites-of-passage story about two boys confronting the depth of racism that exists all around them.'

Works about this Work

'If I've Arsked Youse Boys Once, I've Arsked Youse Boys a Thousand Times!': Translation Strategies in the German Translation of Phillip Gwynne's Deadly Unna Leah Gerber , 2007 single work criticism
— Appears in: Papers: Explorations into Children's Literature , May vol. 17 no. 1 2007; (p. 51-56) This paper is concerned with the 'textual and extratextual' constraints imposed upon a work when it is translated, specifically how certain Australian cultural signifiers are transferred from the original source text to a German target text through the acts of translation (p.51). Gerber uses the novel Deadly, Unna? as an example of the complexities and possible problems involved in translating narratives which highlight a specific cultural context, in this case, relations between the indigenous and non-indigenous people of a small rural community which culminate around the town's local football team.
