Gerald Glaskin
Edit Profile
Education
He attended Perth Modern School and served in the second world war in the RAN and Royal Australian Air Force.
Career
His published works were extensive. He wrote poetry, short stories, and novels. He was also involved in the Western Australian Fellowship of Australian Writers.
He lived mostly in Asia and later the Netherlands, until returning to Perth in 1967.
His extensive time overseas may have been because of the oppressive Australian moral climate of the period against homosexuality. In 1961, he had been charged with indecent exposure on a Perth beach.
A resident of Cottesloe, he was enthusiastic for its beach environment. As a writer in Western Australia conditions were not always supportive of the profession.
His involvement with the Christos experiment saw his writing a number of books related to the subject
His novel entitled A Waltz Through the Hills was made into a 1988 film of the same title.
His most commercially successful work was a novel about a homosexual love affair, Number End To The Way (1965), published under the pseudonym Neville Jackson. Interviewed in later life about the novel, Glaskinhe said: "lieutenant was banned in Australia and the paperback publishers, Corgi, researched the Australian censorship laws, and discovered that the book could not be shipped to Australia. So they chartered planes and flew them in".
lieutenant was not inspired by his relationship with Leo van de Pas, whom he met in 1968 in a gay bar in Amsterdam, and lived with from then onwards till the end of his life.
He was also silent financial partner in The Coffee Pot, a popular Perth meeting place for homosexuals, bohemians and students which was established in the 1950s by Dutch Indonesian migrants, and was then the city"s only late night cafe. Death
He died on March 11, 2000.
