Works about this Work

Gazing into the Mirror : Censorship and Self-censorship in Early Gay Australian Novels Jeremy Fisher , 2016 single work criticism
— Appears in: Sanglap : Journal of Literary and Cultural Inquiry , January vol. 2 no. 2 2016;

'Early gay Australian novels stepped delicately in their depiction of homosexual relationships. In a murky legal climate, both publishers and authors fumbled in their efforts to recount overt homosexual narratives. As well, they were constrained by social conventions. In this environment, writers acted as their own censors, sometimes guided by their publishers, but more often cautiously coming to terms with being able to tell their own stories. Fifty years on, it is possible to document the manner in which some writers of novels with overt gay narratives navigated their problematic world and how the final works were influenced by self-censorship and censorship. As well, some reception of these writers’ works by the mainstream literary market is given a preliminary analysis in this article.'
