Tolcher writes about power, desire, and what people do when they think no one is watching.

His work explores the raw mechanics of control—who wields it, who submits, and what happens when the lines blur.

His debut memoir, Poof, was shortlisted for the Queensland Premier’s Award for a Work of State Significance.

His latest book, Sublimate, pushes even further, transforming repression into revelation, pleasure into performance, and the self into something newly made.
