'There was a conference on literature at Monash Uni earlier this year and not one of the 70 papers presented was by an author. When this was pointed out to a prominent scholar the reply was that the Wool Board doesn't need to consult with the sheep. As a fiction writer, I found the analogy pretty apt. Being more pragmatic than academic, I'm dodging heavy duty theorising. This article is simply a practical overview of gay writing in Australia, an examination of recent history, choices and consequences. To push the analogy, it's a look at combs, both wide and narrow, which publisher uses which and what kind of fleece is currently considered to be most marketable.'  (Introduction)

1 4 y separately published work icon Travelling on Love in a Time of Uncertainty : Contemporary Australian Gay Fiction Gary Dunne (editor), Leichhardt : BlackWattle Press , 1991 Z549088 1991 anthology short story drama humour 'A Striking collection of Australian short stories that captures what it is to be gay and living in the 90's. Eighteen pieces, across broad scenarios, that cover a lot of territory - an all night dance party; a clown market back room; a family funeral; a coming of age in outer suburbia; Mardu Gras Veteran; Whitlamesque drag queen; a deep sub-mariner; and an HIV survivor with attitude. Australian gay fiction has moved on from the monochrome coming out autobiography concerned with the validation of sexual identity to a full spectrum of themes, literary styles and narrative sites.'
