Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. We started out with an ethos rather than a profit-motive, an idea rather than amoney-making venture . in order to publish the books we wanted.It was a way of working as remote now as the moon.Other People's Words is the story of fifteen years in which a small independent company was a force in Australian publishing. From McPhee Gribble came many new writers, including Helen Garner, Tim Winton, Drusilla Modjeska and Kaz Cooke, fresh perspectives on Australian life and history - and, fleetingly, hope that an Australian company could become a fully fledged player in the international publishing industry.This is the story of a friendship between Hilary McPhee and Diana Gribble and the company they built, with its unique way of working that at once mirrored the times and changed them, how it thrived and how it fell.It is also a portrait of a woman who accidentally became a legendary editor and publisher. Hilary McPhee grew up surrounded by books and stories, and also by some of the silences and gaps in the record that defined Australia until recent years. Her belief in publishing not just as a process but as a means of transmission of ideas and imagination had its origins in every corner of her life.Other People's Words is a rare and often moving insight into the transforming power of words. This updated edition contains a new chapter on technology and its likely effects on literature and the creative arts.'Written with great control and clarity . an indispensable document for anyone interested in Australian literary and cultural history.'

Author: Hilary McPhee Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 232 In Other People's Houses publishing legend Hilary McPhee exchanges one hemisphere for another. Fleeing the aftermath of a failed marriage, she embarks on a writing project in the Middle East, for a member of the Hashemite royal family, a man she greatly respects. Here she finds herself faced with different kinds of exile, new kinds of banishment. From apartments in Cortona and Amman and an attic in London, McPhee watches other women managing magnificently alone as she flounders through the mire of Extreme Loneliness. Other People's Houses is a brutally honest memoir, funny, sad, full of insights into worlds to which she was given privileged access, and of the friendships which sustained her. And ultimately, of course, this is the story of returning home, of picking up the pieces, and facing the music as her house and her life takes on new shapes. Secondhand, Paperback.…

A description of our secondhand books is not always available. Please contact us if you have a question about this title. Author: McPhee, Hilary Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 368 Tim Burstall, the celebrated director of Stork, Alvin Purple and numerous other definitive ocker comedies, is credited with shaking the moribund Australian film industry out of its torpor. But long before that, in the early 1950s, he began keeping a diary to record the world of the group of arties and intellectuals he was living among in Eltham, then a rural area outside Melbourne, where cheap land was available for mudbrick houses and studios, and where suburban rigidities could be mercilessly flouted. Burstall was in his mid-twenties, with two young sons and an open marriage with his wife, Betty. Eager to become a writer, to go against the grain, he kept a record almost daily of the parties and the talk in pubs and studios, about art and politics and sex, of Communist Party branch meetings and film societies, of political rallies and the first Herald Outdoor Art Show. Somehow, while holding down a public relations job in the Antarctic Division and juggling his love affairs and obsession with the beautiful, brainy Fay, he wrote 500 words almost every day. Betty, according to the diaries, kept the show on the road, feeding friends after the pub, milking goats and working in. Secondhand, Hardback.…
