Barbarians at the GateBarbarians at the Gate x China Books Review: From Heaven LakeIn 1981, the Indian writer and poet Vikram Seth traveled from Nanjing, where he was studying literature, to his hometown of Delhi. Moving by train across China to Gansu, then hitchhiking southwest through Qinghai and Tibet, it was an itinerary that makes sense when a traveler has a surfeit of curiosity but a shortage of funds. Armed with half-decent Mandarin, a fistful of foreign exchange certificates, and a scrap of paper authorizing his route, he negotiated China just as it was emerging from the Maoist era. No WeChat. No Trip.com. No Google Translate. Just a student improvising his way...

The Biblio File hosted by Nigel BealeStuart Kells reveals the truth about Allen Lane and Penguin BooksAuthor/historian Stuart Kells has been chasing rare books and other bookish treasures since childhood. In the 1980s he went for classic sci-fi paperbacks from Ace and Dell, and authors such as Philip K. Dick and Robert Heinlein. When he moved to Melbourne in the summer of 1989 he was amazed by the city's bookshops, especially secondhand shops - notably Alice's and Sainsbury's in Carlton. When he wasn't looking for books here he was fossicking in the Co-op bookshop at Melbourne University, or hunting for them at markets and fetes. For the past 26 years he's been a regular at Camberwell Market where great bo...

Uncut PoetryLose a Lover Not a FriendToo little, I feel, is talked about heartbreak which arises from friendships which come unstuck. It’s almost as if it doesn’t require comment or commiseration if it’s not love. There’s injustice there. When the truth is that closely wrought bonds which are non sexual often give more shelter to the soul than love can ever do. Friendship is a live-in relationship for the soul. Where everything precious holds true, but no bond paper is signed. Friendship often frees you more preciously than how love binds you. Vikram Seth wrote in his poem, A Style of Loving -
