highlyeccentricWhat am I reading right now? A book on Fatherhood in ME lit; Christina Stead's 'For Love Alone'
Recently finished:
No books, but two volumes of Meanjin.
Meanjin by Jonathan Green
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Enjoyable and interesting read, although I was not impressed with either the poetry or the fiction in this edition.
I particularly recommend:
Gabrielle Chan's memoir-essay Another Country
Michael Slater's essay Real Men Do Hit Women,
and Shannon Burns' The Lumpen Critic, on class anxiety and impostor syndrome in academia.
I also absolutely disrecommend this appalling essay. Which, in addition to being a poorly-veiled rant about the evils of women and minorities in literary discussions, apparently failed to cite its sources.
Meanjin 3 2012 by Sally Heath
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Moderately interesting. I particularly enjoyed this Rebe Taylor essay on the national memory of Truganini, and the uses and abuses thereof.
Up Next: Got a book on sibling love in modern American lit, for starters.
