“Read, read, read. Read everything – trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.”
–William Faulkner“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”
–Franz Kafka“The purpose of a writer is to keep civilization from destroying itself.”
–Albert Camus

On Remembrance Day. I remember.
In early May 1917 a 21 year old private called John Cornelius Hunt would with thousands of other Australians step of the jumping off spot near a small town called Bullecourt. This was in fact the second battle of Bullecourt. He would be very badly wounded and would eventually be sent home to Australia.
