Sumner Locke Elliott

October 17, 1917 – June 24, 1991

This Australian author gained renown for his novels, which often drew from his own childhood and pre-war Australian experiences. Despite an increasing readership in Australia, he remained uncomfortable in his native country, partly due to his homosexuality, which marked him as different during his youth. His work is characterized by a penetrating examination of personal experience and societal context.
