Laurie Odell

The protagonist in Mary Renault's 1953 novel The Charioteer. Odell is a wounded soldier from the Dunkirk evacuation, who must decide if his affections lie with a conscientious objector or a naval officer. The novel is significant because it features a prominent gay theme at an early date and quickly became a bestseller within the gay community.
