The Comfort of Men by Dennis Altman (FICTION, 2026)
I prefer the company of women, but I need the comfort of men
First published in 1993, The Comfort of Men is about thirty years of love and sexual discovery, politics and betrayal, self-realisation and loneliness. Steven must come to terms with his homosexuality, Hester will experiment with radical celibacy, and Gerald is embroiled with the anti-Vietnam War movement.
