This time last year, I was in full crowdfunding mode in support of Ex Libris, a novel containing twelve chapters that can be shuffled into any order.

Got one of those cool emails today.

Uniqlo email describes a new collection as "inspired by British Modernism." I click, expecting radical irruptions of form and content, densely allusive polyvocal collage, the inescapable trauma of WWI, a crisis of faith under capitalism, fascism's pull. But it's just trousers.

A lovely review of BitBH. One statement I disagree with, though: “Kasper is generally oblivious to the dangers and worries which swirl around him...” Not the case. Look closely at his unique ‘language’ and you’ll discover he is keenly aware.

Happy Australian book birthday for my 2022 novel, Boy in the Blue Hammock (although, due to being imported, it’s more like a stork delivery than an actual birth). I hope it finds a few readers.

My daughter bought her first White Album on the weekend from a Record Fair. It was a beautiful moment.

ALT Looking down Edward Street. Is it the 1950s? Maybe early sixties. Looks ominous, folks. That building on the left looms.

Well that was disappointing. I was hoping for strange creepy glitch art and it was just audio from some boring religo thing.

One of Ian Macdonald's sharpest observations is his description of the "sad smiling" final chord of The End.

Ever wondered how a QR code works?
No, me neither but it's low-key fascinating.

Okay look, I'm sorry about the salad cream. My mistake. My exposure to chip butties has been minimal and I have insulted your culture. I'm sorry.
WTF though. Chip butty come on.

A third King Chuckles on the throne is a good opportunity to remember that 17th Century Britain was fucking wild. abc.net.au/news/2022-09-15/t…

One month until Boy in the Blue Hammock is available in Australia. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you haven’t encountered a character like Kasper before, Oz friends and readers.
