Novelists are much like size queens.
So speaks a critic who is also a novelist and a memoirist. Neal Drinnan's remarkable new novel, Quill , turns to us all and answers. The end result is a book that reflects Drinnan's growing depth as a writer and observer of contemporary gay life as it strides the blur between fact and fiction without self-important pronouncements or literary equivocation. It's a long way from the backwater of rural Australia for the Bernard Elliot he once was. From the distance of acclaim, Elliott has penned a new novel, Je Louse , and it's appropriately titled.
