‘… von Doussa writes beautifully … with the cold water clarity of the unillusioned, unhurriedly and well.’ -WH Chong Australian Book Review

‘… consistently edgy and evocative, and surprisingly poignant … a bold and uncompromising take on a subject that gets little fictional attention.’ -Cameron Woodhead The Age

‘… sassy, mournful, yearning and clear-eyed … profound shared human moments … inescapable in its contradictions.’ -Joan Nestle TrafficQuotidian Queer

‘A powerful, bittersweet paean to that ‘shrouded community of strangers’ … a brutally honest … compassionate work … passages of sheer beauty and painful truth.’ -Ian Purcell
