Books
Check out
Richard James
Allen's first novel, The
Kamikaze Mind.
"An
astonishing and rich work, pithy and witty, tender and often wise,
sad and raunchy, imaginative and very surprising...I found myself
constantly wishing to note down quotable
quotes... eloquent and
moving."
Thomas W. Shapcott

Alan
Clay's book,
Angels can Fly,
a Modern Clown User Guide, is available on order through bookshops in Australia and

South Australian author Adrian
Rogers, has three fantasy novels published as e-books - on CD Rom or by

"Lovers of dark fantasy will
love The Secret Chronicle of Oisin. The author has
written it in a style that entertains through the richness of its language
and thought provoking concepts."
Scripts
We
recommend Performing the Unnameable,
an anthology of contemporary Australian physical performance scripts
which sheds light on a range of practices
in this groundbreaking area of performance. The
texts, together with statements from the creating artists, illustrate by
practical example and theoretical explanation, seventeen different
relationships of writing and text to other performative media.
Clown Film
"Two street clowns
get swept up in an occupation of New Zealand's last Victorian theatre, which
brings them into a playful confrontation with the police."

with the digital revolution in publishing.
This list is for the quarterly 'literary and epublishing'
newsletter from Artmedia Publishing in Sydney, a publication with an
