Q&A (and Bees)
3 September, 2010
The cool literati at Spike – the blog attached to Meanjin magazine – put me through the mill this week, asking five questions about my crossword career. Regulars to this site, or the old Cassowary nest, will anticipate most of the answers, though you may not know such cult figures as Garson Hampfield, or Loroso, or Brendan Emmett Quigley.
Hop on over for the Big Five Questions, and follow the links to find your own black-and-white treasures.
And while in the literary vein, check out a book called Sleepers Almanac #6, just released with too much Guinness and too little beauty sleep last night at Trades Hall in Melbourne. Among a pantheon of rising Aussie talent is one misfit called Astle who writes about insect sex for some reason. I can’t figure out why either – just seemed an itch in need of scrathcing. Like head lice.
And while I have your attention: a big thanks to all of you for making the leap from blog to website. It hasn’t been the smoothest segue, but your input and patience and all-out camaraderie has been one princely fillip. Little by little, this new address will prove a great playground for all of us. I can feel it in my waters.
