1 The Jock and the Farmboy, but Not the Sissy : Sexual Archetypes in Holden Sheppard’s Invisible Boys Liam Blackford , 2024 single work review
— Appears in: Overland [Online] , September 2024;

'Holden Sheppard’s Invisible Boys — lately in the news for its TV adaptation on Stan — is an imperfect but extremely entertaining novel that deserves its success. I argue that it is a canonically important work of Australian gay literature, a monument of eroticised and anxious masculinity belonging to a legacy including titles such as Christos Tsiolkas’ Loaded and Barracuda, or Tim Winton’s Breath. I also argue it impeccably instantiates some important gay sexual archetypes, with one major omission.'  (Introduction)
