About the Book

'If you do nothing it will kill you!' thundered the surgeon. Peter Endersbee, musician, photographer, surfer and former football star, was diagnosed with prostate cancer and confronted that terrifying dilemma - proceed with surgery and face the prospect of impotence, or wait and see. In Taking a Punt, Peter Endersbee breaks the silence to share the story of a surgery that threatened his identity, providing a voice for men facing the dilemma - and for the baffled women in their lives. For, at its heart, Taking a Punt is a love story, and a celebration of the courage to remain a sexual being.

About the Author :
Peter Endersbee was born in Adelaide in 1949 and studied and played football there before moving to Melbourne in 1977 to become a semi-professional musician and teach English at Footscray Technical School. In 1989 he gained selection to the Swinburne Film School. Returning to Adelaide in the 1990s he wrote scripts for ABC radio, which he performed live on Keith Conlon's program. After moving to Sydney, Peter worked as a professional photographer but concentrated on writing after winning the Varuna Fellowship for this memoir. In August 2015, while living in Cornwall with his partner Jo, Peter collapsed while playing tennis. He was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, unrelated to his prostate cancer, and died in June 2016. 'Long before Eddie Betts, it was Peter Endersbee's pocket', writes Bruce McAvaney. 'That grand final, those two checkside goals, moments of football magic still vivid after all these years.' Peter Endersbee completed an Arts degree (Hons) in literature and drama at Flinders University, and at the same time was a Sturt footballer during its 'Golden Era' of five consecutive premierships, playing in the last three and kicking two legendary checkside goals in 1968.
