  This is a biography of the writer Sumner Locke Elliott, author of the bestselling and autobiographical Careful He Might Hear You . Locke Elliott lived most of his life in New York where he wrote a dozen or more successful stage plays. His mother, also a writer, died in childbirth - something for which Locke Elliott could not forgive himself. This is also the story of a gay male artist in the tough male Australian culture of the 1950s and his expatriate life until his death in 1990.
