July 2025. The more you are going homeis a short essay I wrote for the wonderful Island Magazine about (I think) past lives, Diane Arbus, and postcards. It's one of a series of equally strange pieces that make up the probably-never-to-be-published collection, So why do I tell you this?
March 2025. I spoke with the talented Walter Marsh at Adelaide Writers' Week about my 2024 novel Shining Like the Sun. Here it is on Spotify if you have an hour spare!
February 2025. Another piece in The Australian about why people don't read (or write) the 'big books' anymore.
January 2025. Lockheed is a story about a cleaning woman who has been living in Elvis Presley's scrapped 1962 Lockheed 1329 Jetstar in a New Mexico boneyard since the seventies. Published by Sarasota's Magazine 1.
November 2024. This piece in The Australian is my take on French parachutist Franz Reichelt, the art of washing elephants, and why writing fiction isn't good for your health (or mind).
January 2024. I wrote this essay in the Glasgow Review of Books about the German (early) modernist playwright Georg Buchner, and especially his play-in-fragments, Woyzeck. I also talked about a few similar writers (ranging all the way to the twentieth century).
