Shadows on the Dancefloor

Gary Dunne

"Where there's hair, there's hope," states Mr. Pointy Head, inner-city survivor, shoplifter and owner of three milk crates of second hand men's underpants. Back in 1985 he and his ex-boyfriend Grace went for HIV blood tests together. It's now 1991 and, for the first time their different results really begin to matter.

Gary Dunne was born in the Adelaide Hills in 1954. After a brief stint at Adelaide Uni in the early 70s, he spent the rest of the Whitlam era travelling the backblocks of Australia with Ashton's Circus. Settling in Sydney in late 1975, he became a freelance contributor to Forum and Campaign magazines, beginning a 30 year ongoing underpaid involvement with the gay press. His fiction has been published in Australian literary mags and anthologies, as well as in local and international gay publications.
