Here's a little Christmas piece I wrote about ETA Hoffman - an interesting character to say the least! theconversation.com/the-macabre-...
theconversation.com
The macabre imagination and erratic life of the man behind Christmas story The Nutcracker
The Nutcracker is a beloved Christmas tale, but the original version is no innocent sugarcoated fantasy.

Trying to get back in the habit of posting... so, apropos to nothing, today I'm working on a paper on Madelina Forbes Mitchell - 'The Persian Nightingale' - the granddaughter of #CharlotteSmith who moved to Adelaide in 1838. British #Romanticism meets colonial Australia and local history.

Apropos to nothing: so disappointed to belatedly learn that Apple TV+ pulled its funding for Sofia Coppola's adaptation of Edith Wharton's The Custom of the Country. I'll file that one with Todd Haynes' doomed biopic of Peggy Lee as 'abandoned projects I would've loved to see'.

Picked up these lovelies at Adelaide Booksellers. The Grenadillo Box is, in part, a fictionalisation of Lord Montfort's suicide in 1755. Suicide also features prominently in Sarah Siddons' great career. And a lot of these Victorian love stories end... well, you know.

Stoked to have received my copy of this bad boy... I mean, this sombre tome. I've missed working on poetry, so perhaps this will inspire some new work.

Have just seen all Oscar-nominated shorts at the Capri Theatre. I'd be very happy to see Pachyderme (Fra) win the animated category, and either Knight of Fortune (Den) or Invincible (Can) win for live action. #oscars2024
