About This Book
You're invited to a very private party!
It's an intimate affair, men only, with a dress code of get undressed! And who's the host? Why, it's Stephen Spear, who is certainly shaking things up now that he's suddenly single.
Poor Stephen has discovered that the gay scene has changed - dramatically! The boys are a generation younger and he no longer commands the attention he once did. Besides, everyone is hooking up online. It's a technology Stephen is completely clueless about - though apparently, his ex, Blake, was quite the authority!
As Stephen explores and experiments online, he becomes entangled with a very eloquent but elusive guy - whom he seems destined never to meet. Exasperated, Stephen cuts loose and inadvertently ends up hosting a party where the guests have no clothes - and no inhibitions whatsoever!
˃˃˃ Praise for 'The Indignities' from influential Australian mainstream media:
Graeme Aitken provides another provocative perspective on love and other catastrophes in Sydney's gay male community. Aitken skillfully blends explicit sexual detail with fine observational humour. (Australian Book Review)
A witty and closely observed novel about the life and lust of Darlinghurst gay guy Stephen Spear. Stephen is an unlikeable, vain character, but there's a good chance he'll remind you of someone you know. (The Age, Melbourne)
Aitken's writing style is detailed and nicely evocative. He writes characters extremely well, with both humor and poignancy. Aitken also knows how to deliver a satisfying ending. (Polari Journal)
