Norman Fox

Norman Fox’s Queer as Fox books are an evocative collection chronicling the queer experience in Sydney, Australia, through the transformative decades of the 1980s and 1990s—and beyond. These stories weave a vivid tapestry of life along Oxford Street, the beating heart of Sydney’s queer culture, where neon-lit nights and pulsating beats shaped a generation.

They delve into the electric atmosphere of the iconic Hordern Pavilion, a temple to the emerging EDM scene, and recount the triumphs and trials of the young souls whose lives revolved around music, dancing, and hedonism—etched into memory long before the age of mobile cameras. Norman Fox’s compelling narrative captures the essence of an era, offering a candid exploration of addiction, the complexities of love, and the lingering shadows of mental health struggles, all set against the vibrant backdrop of a community finding its voice.

Norman’s books are more ‘how not to guides’, than self-help books. Norman’s first book is being adapted for film.
