Looking forward to chatting with @jonobutler @port_fairy_literary_weekend this Sunday 230pm as part of @queerwritessessions live podcast @daniveebooks_wordsandnerds – My earlier Insta review below of The Boy In the Dress • @rwrmcdonald A melding of memoir, military history, family history, queer history, true crime, THE BOY IN THE DRESS by @jonobutler was a great and compelling read. (Blurb below 👇) @jonobutler has been described as a gay detective & I can not wait to see what he does next. I ❤️ this book, the content is challenging but it is a history I wished was taught in school.
As a gay man I hard related & have included a pic me & my sister in dress ups – though if it were now I would totally want her hat! I long for the day where homophobia and toxic masculinity are a thing of the past & people are fully free to express themselves.
A great read from an Australian debut author which I encourage you to read & support.
