| Introduction | I teach politics at La Trobe University, Melbourne. For the moment this blog is fairly inactive, but I will keep existing posts available. Views expressed here are my own. The site aims to avoid blogatry - indigent analysis based on casual bile. Sometimes, it fails. |
| Interests | Crime fiction - the brilliance of PD James at her best, Reginald Hill at his most hysterically funny is inspiring. |
| Favorite movies | The Mission - must be the catholic guilt. The sound track helps. Dark City - an underated brilliant film with mesmerising soul-less creatures who look like they've just had a hard night at a leather club. Breathless K. Sutherland is everyperson's collaborator. In the Mood For Love. TV series- Foyle's War: English reserve and countryside combine to make this series so memorable I wouldn't mind being transported to the 1940s. |
| Favorite music | pathetically: 60s and 70s folk revival with a Gaelic twang. Stirs the soul, that penny whistle and fiddle. |
| Favorite books | Waiting for the Barbarians, Disgrace, Hill and James' various works, One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Twyborn Affair, Midnight's Children, Kes, The Go-Between (when I was a kid) |
