Join us for a discussion and book signing to celebrate the release of Holden Sheppard's new novel Yeah The Boys.Award-winning Western Australian author Holden Sheppard returns to the world of his bestselling debut Invisible Boys with Yeah the Boys: a bold, propulsive new novel about male friendship, masculinity, modern gay life and being a closeted gay male AFL player. Unapologetic and unforgettable, this latest release is Sheppard at the height of his powers.
Raw, brash and fiercely tender, Yeah the Boys is the story of three young men finding their way back to each other – and discovering their own complicated ways of becoming men. This new novel is the rebellious older brother to Invisible Boys, moving decisively into adult terrain. The characters are now in their mid-twenties, navigating sex, money, drugs, fame, politics and the messy realities of city life. It is Holden Sheppard’s most provocative and hard-edged book yet.
‘A shout in the night and a shot in the arm of a book… a reverent depiction of gay culture, masculinity and the men that boys become, warts and all.’ – James Acker, author of The Long Run
