I got this at the ever-useful Bookwoman’s; it was rotting away in the .50-farthing bin, I had to rescue it because my favorite Aussie writer wrote it. (To be honest he might be the only Australian writer I’ve read, I’ll have to check on that.) I’m not one who normally reads paperbacks of the how to/for idiots instructional paperbacks but I just have a weird thing for Mr. Marsden. The essay was funny and kind. The first chapter was entitled “The Collector” and it was all about collection words, characters, articles and images. My dear writer friend Larissa is a collector so the chapter gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Marsden cracks me up while giving inspiring admonition. I enjoy reading him simply because I think he would be a cool guy to know.
