writing, waiting, sleeping a little not much, drinking a lot a little too much, reading not enough but loving Hammett again, learning more about poetry and wishing my cousin would call. It is three weeks into the university term so I have films to watch and paper work. I am getting to know a very enterprising couple. I like getting to know new people. Being enterprising for me means making sure I have the right music/reading for the two-hour commute to the coalface.
One or two places left – I’m already loving this group. Looking forward to introducing some new and old fiction that I’ve loved this year by Angela Slatter, Ursula LeGuin, Jeffrey Ford and Yoko Ogawa.
http://www.swampwriting.com/ A great opportunity for postgraduate writing students. Swamp is an initiative of the University of Newcastle, and publishes a wide range of top-notch stories by emerging writers, focusing on but not limited to Australia.
I am teaching Hamlet. This is a first for me, and it has given me a chance not only to revisit the play, but also Almereyda’s messy, masterful adaptation (2000); and one summer in my own life when the time felt most terribly out of joint.
Read more at The Nervous Breakdown.
Honoured to be listed in the novel category along with literary friends Angela Slatter and Maria Lewis, and so many other cool folks across all categories. Looking forward to Conflux in a few weeks.
