“She was not la petite Australienne, not even, perhaps, an Australian, except on damp piercing nights at Lunegarde, or in moments of expatriate despair alone in the Paris apartment.  Sometimes Dorothy Hunter suspected she existed only in the novels of Balzac and Stendhal and Flaubert, the plays of Racine.”   - from The Eye of the Storm by Nobel Prize-winning author Patrick White (Picador, May 2012, p. 54) Photo:  Judy Davis as Princess de Lascabanes aka Dorothy Hunter in the forthcoming film (The Eye of the Storm) starring Geoffrey Rush, Judy Davis and Charlotte Rampling; directed by Fred Schepisi and distributed by Sycamore Entertainment.

From the Archives: Zach Galifianakis Interviews John Wray

Videogum said: “Now, I don’t know what a ‘book’ is, but I agree that this is the way to sell one”

Flavorwire said: “Here’s one of our favorite comedians interviewing one of our favorite authors — except they’ve inexplicably swapped roles and there’s not a fern in sight.”

Huffington Post said: “If you’re going to make a book video, this is definitely the way to do it.”
