Shortlisted, Benella Award for Best Audio Book, Braille + Talking Book Library Awards 1997 Elliott lived the latter half of his life in New York and in part his story is that of an expatriate writer driven away by Australia's repressive censorship laws which were the stuff of the late 1940s and 1950s. More particularly, his early story is that of a gay male artist in a tough male Australian culture. His early years were also affected by others' memories of his mother, Sumner Locke, a popular and successful writer, who died within a few hours of his birth. Sumner Locke Elliott died in 1991. This important literary biography is based both on Clarke's conversations with the author, and the privileged access she had to Elliott's papers and to his wide circle of friends.
