So I've finally updated my poor, neglected little blog with a few new articles added to that section. I am resolved to be more diligent in future (but I'm aware that I've said that before). While we're here, I may as well link to some recent articles: a review of A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James at the Sydney Review of Books, a review of Guantanamo Diary in Fairfax, and a few bits and pieces in the Guardian.
Jeff Sparrow is a writer and the former editor of Overland, Australia’s pre-eminent progressive literary journal. His most recent book is Money Shot: A Journey into Porn and Censorship. He hosts the show Hullabaloo on Melbourne's Triple R every Wednesday from 9am.
