If anyone is interested, my Master thesis is now available for download via OPUS at University of Sydney Technology.
Warning: Thesis can be boring, and this research was a bit niche (Magic realism + Aboriginal novels). It's also not professionally edited and I wrote it in a hurry (long story).
‘Do you have your ISBN on you?’ ‘Why yes, I actually do,’ replied activist, author and artist Damien Linnane, looking down at the tattoo of the ISBN number on his forearm.
But that was for his first book...and now his second, Raw - A Memoir is out. Time for a new tatt?
Damien also runs a magazine for incarcerated inmates, art exhibitions and so much more. Learned so much about The Australian prison system from him.
There's a little more about him in my blog. And also interested to know how you've celebrated/memorialised the launch of your own book/s.
Packing my bags again. This time, I'm speaking at the Historical Novel Society of Australasia's conference in Sydney this weekend. I'm on a panel titled Truth-telling in Historical Fiction.
@Funfun@bookstodon@auslit “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes is my favourite book in the bible.
