• This blog is about reading, writing, film and politics from the perspective of a writer in Perth. And sometimes it'll touch on theology, too, but I have a separate blog for that - perth anabaptists I used to have impassioned opinions on everything. But now at 27 I have become a very old man, so you'll probably find me in two minds about everything.
