March 24, 2026From the anthologies flyleaf:
"'Divertika' is an anthology containing a broad spectrum of writing from well known authors and those less familiar. In all twenty eight separate works.
"There is a beautiful story 'Moustache' by Richard Gold making his debut; a transcribed interview with David Stevens, who wrote the play and subsequent film script, 'The Sum of Us'; lesbian fables from internationally acclaimed Suniti Namjoshi; a film script, 'Status' from one of Australia's most promising young film makers, Stephen Cummins, who died before the film could be made; a chapter from Kate Cumming's book, 'Katherine's Diary' describing her transsexual operation; two delightful stories from Canadian, David Dakar, on dinner party etiquette: a touch of S&M from David King; a virgin Madi Gras experience by Pamela May and a host of other tales exploring lives and living other than the mainstream.
"'Divertika' will Challenge the reader with a breadth of excellent writing that illuminates the hopes and fears of queers, and the astonishing diversity of queer life."
