The Boys of Bullaroo: Tales of War, Aussie Mateship and more (English Edition) Kindle版
The Boys of Bullaroo
The Boys of Bullaroo is a collection of six short stories, each set a decade apart, spanning the period from the Great War to the Vietnam conflict.
Linked by an outback Australian town, Bullaroo, the narratives follow the loves, the losses, and the sexual awakenings of men over the course of sixty years.
From the deserts of Egypt and the Light Horse, to prisoner of war camps during the Second World War, and to the flood of American servicemen on R&R during the age of conscription in the 1960s, these tales explore the nature of what it is to love, and to be loved by other men.
Razor gangs, male prostitution, and the immediate post-war flood of emigrants from southern Europe are some of the themes that contribute to the colour and private lives of husbands, brothers, sons, and lovers over the course of the century, told from a unique, Australian perspective.

What a wonderful book.

The Boys of Bullaroo by Garrick Jones is so beautifully written that at times it took my breath away. It offers a glimpse into Australian gay life during, before, and after the world's wars where men are shunted off to battle, then left to their own devices to gather up the pieces of their shattered lives after the fighting is over. Before I purchased this book the author warned me it was not a romance. I humbly beg to disagree. I found a lot of romance in this book. And a lot of love. The gay erotica scattered throughout is some of the best I've ever read, bar none. I don't know what I expected when I opened this book, but I do know I didn't expect to be touched as much as I was. It's a little humbling to be a writer yourself, and then come face to face with such excellent and beautiful storytelling. One more thing. This book is perfectly edited. Many aren't, you know. So there you have it. I can't recommend this book enough. Well done, Mr. Jones. Your book is wonderful.

Great Stories of little known side to War

Very readable accounts based on thorough research. The idea that homosexuals did fight for their country time & time again goes against popular misconceptions.

This is a wonderful historical fiction novel that all gay men should read!

Mr. Jones has a wonderful sense in his writing style that just flows across the page. It is lyrical and beautiful to read.
He builds his characters so that you really know and understand them, and hear the issues that matter to young men returning from a war to find that home is not the way it was when they left. Jones' writing is so fresh and direct in many ways and each story was wonderful. I wanted the stories to continue, however, he is a master at short story writing! He knows when to stop writing...so that the story can continue on in your mind for long after the end of the page.

Touching, Compelling and Beautifully Written

What do I know about gay life in Australia after WWI? I've been there.
No, I've never physically been in the country, but after reading "The Boys of Bullaroo," I've felt it. This beautifully written novel by Garrick Jones follows the lives of gay men during and after wars over sixty years, and it compelled this U.S. midwestern boy to turn page after page unable to put the book down.
The characters are interesting, the tales are compelling and touching despite each story being unique.
Jones has a second novel released and I look forward to diving in. I'm following him now anticipating future books.
I can't recommend "The Boys of Bullaroo" enough.

A good novel-in-stories
2019年12月9日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I enjoy this author's style and subject matter, so I picked this up even though I rarely read short story collections. This collection was almost a novel-in-stories, though, since the characters in the six stories were connected by more than just the fictitious town of Bullaroo, and there was a continuous thread through the narrative. It's historical fiction, with frank and explicit discussions of the characters' sexuality, and the author has clearly done his research. These stories were mostly well-written, though a few times the innuendo-laced dialogue got to be a bit much (I got the picture already, and so did the characters, it was laid on a little heavy at times). The first and last stories definitely had a more literary feel, while the ones in the middle veered more toward pure erotica. The last story brought the whole narrative to a satisfying end.
