From a link on her blog comes this story of M.J. Hyland's in October's Manchester Review. It reminds me of something Tobias Wolff might write, if he was in a flinty mood and inclined to be a little less lapidary. I long for her memoirs - or do I? perhaps she is taking the more interesting road, after all.
And best of all, a NEW BOOK IN 2009. Thrilling.
I just discovered your blog--very interesting. I'm subscribing in order to take my time looking over past posts. I'm new to the online world, having created my blog only a few weeks ago. Like yours, mine is dedicated to books and writing and Australian literary culture. I've been posting reviews and articles I've published in the past, along with snippets of creative fiction here and there.
I would really appreciate your feedback: www.adairjones.wordpress.com. Adair Jones

Hello Adair. How very strange our paths have crossed this evening - I was looking at your blog not fifteen minutes ago!! Sometimes the Internet is smaller than we think!
thanks for coming by, I hope you find this interesting. I'm certainly going to spend more time looking at yours.
