Summary: Gerald Glaskin (1923-2000) pushed the boundaries of acceptability in what he wrote and how he wrote it. His 20 major publications - novels, short stories, travelogues, memoirs, plays, and more - tackled such taboo subjects as homosexuality, incest, and parapsychology. In the aftermath of World War II, Glaskin challenged white Australians to re-examine their attitudes toward Asians and Aboriginal people; and his 1965 novel, No End to the Way - initially banned in his home country - was groundbreaking in its frank and honest portrayal of a homosexual relationship. Outside Australia, Glaskin's bo.
