The book, consistently alive with feeling, is written with elastic style. Very funny in bits Item Information Condition:. Or maybe it only seems rich with incident because of an old maxim that still holds: Stories happen only to people who can tell them. This autobiography is a disguised novel. This high-spirited memoir traces the life and times of this inimitable public intellectual, who is much missed, from his childhood in Portsmouth, England, where his father was a navy man, through boarding school, his studies at Oxford and his subsequent career as a writer both in England and the United States. In this book, Roth offers a moving tribute to the man but also a portrait almost breathtaking in its honesty and lack of sentimentalism, so truthful and exact that it is as much a portrait of living as dying, son as father. The understanding that the memoirs are unreliable make them bittersweet. Her memoir is wiry and fearless. In a quiet way she is one of the great horror mothers of English-language literature.

We should paint the things around us. Motor cars are very beautiful. I’m a great admirer of Giorgio Morandi; we all love Morandi, and he had all his props, his different bottles and his things. See, my props are petrol stations and trucks If a good painting comes off, it has a stillness, it has and it’s just the same a perfection, and that’s as great as anything that a thing. It’s a different musician or a poet can do. – Jeffrey Smart range of things. Introduction Jeffrey Smart Jeffrey Smart: Master of Stillness (Catherine Hunter, 2012) sheds light on the early influences of one of our greatest painters. Born in Adelaide in 1921, Smart’s early years were spent discovering the back lanes of the city’s inner suburbs. Now retired from painting, his last work Labyrinth (2011) evokes those memories. It is also a kind of arrival at the painting he was always chasing, never satisfied, hoping the next one on the easel would be the elusive masterpiece, the one that said it all. In this sense, Labyrinth brings a full stop to his career, and at the same time makes for a full, perpetual circle within his life.

  • Anarchism in Australia
    Anarchism in Australia Bob James 2009 Contents References And Suggested Readings ............................ 6 2 At least as early as the 1840s (“Australia” having only been settled by white Europeans in 1788), the term “anarchist” was used as a slander by conservatives against their political opponents; for example, by W. C. Wentworth against Henry Parkes and J. D. Lang for speaking in favor of Aus- tralian independence from Britain. This opportunistic blackening of reputations has continued to the present day. What has also continued is that Australian attempts to express the philosophy positively have reflected other countries’ concerns or global rather than local issues. For example, the first positive public expression of the philosophy was the Melbourne Anar- chist Club (MAC) which, established in 1886, consciously reflected the Boston Anarchist Club’s approach to strategy and philosophy, having a secretary, a chairperson, speakers’ rules, and pre- pared papers which the public were invited to hear. The club was also a response to the 1884 call by the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions of the US and Canada for a celebration of May 1, 1886 as an expression of working-class solidarity. The first MAC meeting was held on that day at the instigation of Fred Upham from Rhode Island, the two Australian-born Andrade brothers, David and William, and three other discontented members of the Australasian Secular Association (ASA) based in Melbourne. Australian labor activists had been involved in Eight Hour Day agitations since 1871 and in deliberately associating themselves with the overseas movement for May Day the MAC organiz- ers exposed their lack of involvement in local labor politics and their vulnerability to the rise or fall of distant agendas.
