“We are the Dream”: Sumner Locke Elliott’s coming out novel, Fairyland
Update: 2025-10-15
Description
Critic Sam Twyford-Moore joins Rebecca to discuss Fairyland. This book is perhaps the most old-fashioned on the list, exploring not only queer awakening but also other social issues. It was Locke Elliott’s final book, where he openly and publicly discussed his queer identity and the loneliness he experienced. The story is primarily set in Sydney from the late 1920s to the 1950s, after which the protagonist, a writer, moves to the US.
