David Malouf- Remembering Babylon.

HI All,

Last Blog Topics for weeks 10 and 11. 

Creative Topics:

1/ Write a letter to Jock McIvor explaining to him how you yourself have been going through some deep personal self-questioning, trying to work out whether the company you keep is in the best interests of your own personal growth.

2/ Write a letter to David Malouf thanking him for raising such relevant issues for contemporary Australian society.

Critical Topics: 

3/ Find out more about John Clare and see if you can shed more light on who he was and why Malouf might have been drawn to his poetry.

4/ Briefly discuss the links between Alf Dubbo and Gemmy Fairley in terms of how Patrick White and David Malouf conceptualize the value of indigenous culture
