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)
