This is the equally powerful second part of an emotional triptych. Imperative to read the first part before. this is beautifully written, great use of language, to communicate the still raw emotions of a twin left behind. this is a writer with real skill.

A great story to relax with. I didn’t bother with it when it came out - a mistake. It’s a great pastiche of the show but the writing is high quality, the comments genuinely amusing, and if you try to answer the questions immediately you get a sense of how easy it is to make mistakes. reading this will make you want to read other great story’s by mr Aus.

Your writing doesn’t read like nonsense to me. An amusing tale great for a Saturday morning lie in.

Hard to review without spoilers but this is another hidden gem in the letters category. the pacing is perfect, the hints and clues are placed carefully and we have a beginning, middle and end in 1000+ words. this is like a miniature painting 🖼 and the quality of writing about/with emotions is excellent. off to read everything else!! thank you.

A letter so relevant in 2021. Even though one had friends, and anonymous lovers, who died in the 90’s, here in my adopted village it all seems ancient history. And yet, the tombstones scattered around of guys in their twenties. Here many more because of drug addiction as well. a Jewish rabbi taught me this: Civilisation passed from one generation to the next by the gossimer thread of MEMORY. For me, this letter by Michael is one such thread. Headstall, Gary, I believe, has written a very important piece. Beautifully written, as usual, but wow the message provoked me to awaken from my slumber. We must not forget! We owe it to our brothers, sisters, lovers and friends. read this!

Chapter 1 Never Surrender
Gary L commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 1 Never Surrender
So true - how did I escape when school and college friends went so fast or so slowly? My students today think Covid doesn’t exist for them, AIDS is ancient history and of no relevance to their life. Sadly, a fair few will find is us still a reality. thanks for your comment- Gary L -
I think this chp really gets the balance right. Yes, loads of tech info which is usually way above my understanding, but placed in the context of the new relationships it really worked and made the chapter accessible and so enjoyable for me. For me, it’sthe best “technology” chapter by far but also one of the most thought-provoking about the social skills our hero will need to develop asap. 5***** chp. THANKS 🙏

Poor guy! Another interesting start JM! I’m intrigued to see where you go with this. regards

Log this oldie to read on Valentine’s Day. It’s a nice tale and highlights the author’s skills very well. Good job.

A message from the heart. An inspirational read. From a mancunian reader to Mancunian the great writer. Keep going. Your work validated your struggles to others. Read this guy - he is bloody good.

Maurice by E.M. (Edward Morgan) Forster
Gary L commented on W_L's story chapter in Maurice by E.M. (Edward Morgan) Forster
I read this at university in London in the 70’s. Homosexual acts had been “decriminalized”, note not legalised, when I was in High School, but only for over 21 yrs, in private (student residences were not such) etc. not a hopeful world. And then I read Maurice, the long unpublished masterpiece which had been shared like a holy text amongst Forster’s close-knit circle. as you say it gave one hope that there could be that one friend there. I wonder how it reads decades later. The film is lovely but you inspire me to dig out the battered paperback. Thank you so much 😊 -
A lovely, lovely tale. You don’t have to be a cowboy to enjoy this feelgood story. Beautifully written.

Looking back at another anthology I feel I missed out in my early yrs of GA reading. There are real jewels here. And this by comicfan is a treasure. A heart lifting read. God knows we need some at this time. 🤗

Mainstream Book Review: The End of October by Lawrence Wright
Gary L reviewed W_L's story in Non-Fiction
A good, solid review of a timely novel in an age when fact and fiction seen evermore blurred. And scarily so 😱 I, for one, think it’s great to see reviewers thinking outside the box in what to recommend us thanks-

What a web…….. story goes from strength to strength. Is JM goes to pull off another sequel that is better than the original? Great stuff!
