Panos Thasites: I would like to know more about this poet; I can’t find any biography, or more poems other than those in Raizis’ ‘Greek Poetry Translations.’

Wow, what beautiful music – and such haunting words. You’ve made Baudelaire into an existentialist philosopher…

It would be nice if they were released as a series of audio books maybe read by Sam Elliot. Unfotunately, I never got to read the entire series, but I really enjoyed the ones I DID get to read.

I love Clive Barker’s novels and stories, especially Cabal. This book reminded me of Cabal in the pace of the story, the representation of the beast, and the way the central character fights against change – and then accepts it. It also reminded me of An American Werewolf in London, with the central character initially unable to accept his appetites. It’s all an extended metaphor and it’s brilliant. A great read.

This woman’s art is amazing – she’s like a visual artist equivalent to Leonora Carrington.

Comment on Anne Perry (Juliet Hulme) by Lara Stone

Wow, I’ve just heard Anne Perry state that the contents of Pauline Parker’s diaries are ‘fantasy’ – that is, fictional or made up. In other words, not true.

Anne Perry, as we all know, always speaks the truth. Many have said so. Carl Rosel has said so, so it must be true.

That means that all of the ‘facts’ in Parker’s diaries are really examples of fiction and cannot be trusted; all of them are unreliable as evidence of what PP or JH were really doing, thinking, saying or feeling at any of the dated and the recorded times.

So ANYONE who uses Parker’s diary extracts to back up any point they make is not being accurate at all – they are in fact, helping to spread misinformation.

Either that, or they think JH is a liar.

Personally, I believe the devout and honest Anne Perry. The diaries are full of fiction, lies and ‘fantasy’. Nothing in them is remotely true.

Hege was dealing with her own situation of abandonment [parents dead] and having to generate income by knitting jerseys as Mattis is incapable of even the most menial of tasks i.e., weeding turnip rows. Mattis whilst in his 40s is inversely the mental age of a pre-pubescent child, and very demanding. But, through the difficulty of his situation [which is made wonderfully complex by the writer], he makes the ultimate sacrifice to love.

The latest Tarrantino flick is Edgy. And the actor for Edge the movie if still kicking would have to be the one who looks like him on the covers. Usually played the bad dude. TR The Alice NT Down Under.
