Medea's Bathhouse. "The Penguin Book of Gay Australian Writing" by Graeme Aitken (ed). [review]
Abstract
This is a strange assortment of pieces. To someone who doesn't move in any gay community, the anthology's chief problem is its fissiparousness. There has to be a distinction between gay writing and writing by authors who are gay. The majority of contributors to Graeme Aitken's book take gay life to be their subject, but several are included because they are gay, while not necessarily employing gay themes, or doing so indirectly.
