A couple of updates
Just a quick note to say I’ve added links to two pieces of mine published last year in The Australian Literary Review to the site. The first, ‘Stealing Memory’s Thunder’, is a review of James Frey’s novel, Bright Shiny Morning and a discussion of the growing phenomenon of fake memoir, the second, ‘Perfect Worlds in Miniature’, is a review of recent short story collections by Annie Proulx, Michael Chabon, Robert Drewe and the frighteningly talented Anne Enright.

No comments on the Frey piece in since its publication a year ago? I find this rather depressing, as if no-one can really be bothered thinking through the issues involved. One gets the impression that many readers would have preferred to remain in the dark on this and other hoaxes …
What, no ‘frighteningly talented’ love for Annie, Mike or Bob?
For short stories my vote goes to little E. Annie…
