      Christos Tsiolkas: ‘I Don’t Understand Wanting To Live A Youthful Life Forever’

      Nov 3, 2023

      “It is in capturing the quotidian nature of a city that one finds its soul,” Christos Tsiolkas once wrote, and perhaps but for Helen Garner, no other author has captured life in Melbourne as truthfully. It feels oddly thrilling to meet the 58-year-ol

      My Royal Appointments Diary

      ‘Keep a diary and someday it'll keep you.’ Whoever said it - Mae West used the line in a film in 1937, but both Margot Asquith and Lillie Langtry were reported as saying it in the 1920s - was bang on the money. I started keeping a diary in 1959 (when

      In her cosy sitting room, overlooking one of Soho’s busier streets, Jean Jones (not her real name) begins to peel off an imaginary skirt. “Someone made it for me,” she says. “It was red, and it had loads of panels. I used to take each panel off one a
