Winner of the Polari Book Award 2024. Â This is a lust-drenched, ache-filled gay love triangle that gnarls into a sly emotional thriller. Three men bound together in a blistering story that spans 30 years, from 1953 into the 1980s and the AIDS epidemic, The Gallopers is a visceral and mesmerising novel of deceit, desire and unspeakable loss.
