Produktbeschreibung

Part provocateur, part seducer, this young gay man's account of life offers one of the freshest takes on Australia and the world today. Honouring poets of the past - Jean Genet, Veronica Franco, Euripides, Hunter S. Thompson, Oscar Wilde - and joining in their task of finding meaning in existence and the modern world, Tolcher has produced a brazenly honest debut without precedent. Through his writing he subverts his own shame, weaponises it, and positions himself as an anti-hero of our time right when we need him the most. Following his humble beginnings as an outcast in the dreary outer suburbs of Brisbane and escalating into a Dionysian, poetic and pornographic international climax, Poof follows Tolcher's search for love and purpose as he is drawn to the beds of powerful, sadistic men. If he can endure just a little longer, a little more... will they love him? In an age of victimhood, Tolcher offers us a roadmap to empowerment and integrity as he pulls back the curtain on both our pride and our shame, and shines a spotlight on a hidden history that has been erased time and again.

Autorenporträt

James Michael Tolcher was born in Brisbane, Australia. He has a Bachelor of Arts in Writing and English Literature from the University of Queensland. His experience is largely in being a boytoy for rich and powerful men, which would have been a lot more fun if men weren't the absolute worst. He's not particularly scared of them though, so he wrote this book.
