Gil Scott Heron is on Parole: Book Launch Review


Melbourne writer Koraly Dimitriades has reviewed my book launch over at her blog.

A good job too, as I'm so exhausted I couldn't think of doing a write-up at the moment! Thankyou to everybody who helped make this night happen, particularly to Jeff Sparrow and Pi.O, whose extraordinary speeches were the highlight of my literary life to date.

  6. Thanks for heading over there, Mama Shujaa. It's great to have an outside record of the night. The review has also been posted on the website of Overland Literary Magazine (overland.org.au).
