- Shirley Hazzard: A Writing Life (Podcast #134)
Thank you for this fresh interview with Brigitta Olubas. As Peter Rose identifies, an especial aspect of this fine literary biography is the mapping of the fiction with the life.

The podcast projects an attitude of uninformed superiority I’ve only ever seen in the southeast rump of my country.
A group of people still at Don’s Party, disappointed in the other people who live on our island. I’m going to join their site to read on Houellebecq And Baudelaire, I hope I am wrong.
