AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'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.'
