Todd Noy was a prizewinning sports journalist from Perth, Western Australia, widely considered to be one of the most influential writers of the 20th Century. He wrote for VFL Weekly, and K.O Magazine.
In the early 1980’s Noy enjoyed moderate fame as a journeyman goalkeeper in the Peruvian soccer league (PSL).
His novels include Ochre Dyke (1976), March of the Knoxmen (1977), House of Fuego (1980), The Alabaster Wars (1981) and the life-changing classic, Drago: On Mountains we Stand (1989). Other notable works include Letters to Dante, Humanoid, and Gout. His memoir SWARMER is considered the National Book of Mexico.
Noy disappeared in January 1992 after a long battle with drug and alcohol addictions. Presumed dead, a memorial service was held in his honour in Perth in December 1995. He is survived by his two sons, Marlon and Quince and long-term partner, English cellist, Elizabeth Harrington.
