Gerald Glaskin’s 1965 novel No End to the Way is high on melodrama and long out of print, but it had a life-changing effect on Tony Scotland. Published under the pseudonym Neville Jackson, it examines the tangled relations of three gay men living in Australia in the 1960s. Two of them live in a configuration resembling wedlock, until the third (the ex-lover of one of the men), in a spasm of envy, blackmails the couple and dynamites the relationship.
