Cape Fever

Lisa is on page 20 of 832 of House of All Nations
Oh my, I don't know if I'm up for this. I love reading Stead, but there are five (5) pages in her list of characters and one and a half in her list of firms, and all the characters I've come across so far have long, unpronounceable names to keep track of.

House of All Nations

Lisa
Lisa is on page 113 of 561 of Shirley Hazzard: A Writing Life
I have never before read an autobiography that conveyed such dislike for the subject. There is a complete lack of empathy for a teenage girl being shunted about by a father's career, and for her desire to be somewhere more interesting than 1950s Australia and New Zealand.

Shirley Hazzard: A Writing Life


Lisa
Lisa is finished with The Penguin book of modern Australian verse (An Australian original)
Nice to see Antigone Kefala has two poems included. I read some of her writing before and she seemed to resent being sidelined as an 'ethnic' writer. But in this collection (from 1981), she is just one of the poets.

I hope Purgatorio and Paradiso arrive from Abebooks by the time I need them!

The Divine Comedy, Volume 1: Inferno

Lisa
Lisa is on page 92 of 214 of The Penguin book of modern Australian verse (An Australian original)
I've had a break from this because of reading The Divine Comedy. Back now, and enjoying David Malouf. I've read his novels before, but not his poetry. I liked Vivian Smith's 'At an Exhibition of Historical Paintings, Hobart too:
'But how some gazes cling. Around the hall/the pathos of the past, the human creature'. I like Thomas Shapcott's grandmother—a relaxed summer holiday in contrast to parents!
