Melbourne

If you'd like to read an extract from my latest book, Melbourne, you'll find the one the Age published a couple of weeks ago here. You'll find Jane Sullivan's review here, and Kate Holden's review here. There was a really wonderful review by Waleed Aly (also in the Age) but I don't have a link to that, nor, thankfully, the very negative one by Peter Pearce, that was run in the Australian.

If you want to read Melbourne as an ebook, Booki.sh have done a lovely version, which you'll find here.

This website has been built so that those who want to support Harry Nicolaides the Australian writer currently being held in a Thai prison. His sentence for 'insulting the monarchy' is three years.

Somewhat belatedly, I want to note the death of Glenn Goldman, the founder of that great LA bookshop on Sunset: Duck Soup.

These images superimposing Leningrad during the Siege onto modern St Petersburg, are extraordinary.

On November 3 I'm taking part in a day long publishing forum Varuna is putting on in the Blue Mountains. If you're interested, come along.
