Doing It - Writing a Novel - Marija Pericic / Linda Morris (Thu 27 Apr 2017)

Mirrors - Prague (Mon 31 Aug 2009)

Marija Pericic on Doing It:

I always wanted to write a novel, and then I just did and I didn't tell anyone I was doing it.

I did it alongside my work as an English language teacher. It took me about five years. I found it hard to talk about it, but I also didn't want to talk about it in case I never did it or I never completed it. I had a daily quota of 1000 words and I just did that and, after a while, I couldn't have stopped even if I wanted to.

Two Arcs - Sydney Harbour (Mon 10 Sep 2001)

Two Arcs - Sydney Harbour (Mon 10 Sep 2001)

David Malouf (*) writes On The Sydney Opera House (*) which 40 years ago appeared near the Sydney Harbour Bridge (*) as :
a new emblem [..] and Sydneysiders immediately saw the two as mirrors of one another, the arc of the bridge and its broken reflection; another arc, but divided now into sections and fitted one inside the next. The new force ran between the two. Like the force in Paris that runs between Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower, and in Rome between the Colosseum, the Pantheon and Michelangelo's St Peter's.
