I screamed, cackled and winced my way through this delicious collection of short stories.
I’ve been loving the hot weather here in Melbourne. Maybe it’s the contrast, but it’s also proved to be perfect time to read this delightful novel set in one of the coldest places on earth.
This tightly controlled small novel follows Christopher, a young man moving to Melbourne from country Victoria in the 1950s. In the city he quickly discovers the queer underground and meets Morgan, with whom he begins a domestic relationship.
