A wonderfully written account of a father's relationship with his troubled son, as told through his funny, tender letters. In 2007 Michael Maitland left home for university, and in the years that followed he developed depression, OCD and, almost fatally, anorexia. It was only when Michael was taken to hospital in 2012, his body shutting down and his organs failing, that the family realised exactly what was happening.

In this deeply personal portrayal, Tania J. Wilson peels back the layers of a life lived across continents and cultures. From a childhood in coastal South Africa to decades of reinvention in the United States, she traces the quiet silences, family heartaches, and unexpected joys that shaped her journey.

When the Japanese invade in 1942, the Australian men and women stationed at the New Guinea port of Rabaul flee into the jungle. Written off by their government as ‘hostages to fortune', the little-known garrison on Australia's tropic frontier has been left with no modern equipment, no lifeline to the outside, and no means of escape. Most are captured and killed in the sinking of the prison ship Montevideo Maru, which remains Australia's worst sea disaster. But the surviving soldiers and nurses carry on.

Questo diario è il terzo libro scritto da me, un’esplorazione degli ambienti cittadini ed extraurbani per osservare gli umani e gli oggetti moderni. Rappresentazioni in forma filosofica o matematica per riuscire a trovare la giusta quantità di moto, le prove che il bene è un più alto sentimento, senz’altro rispetto a un male, la giusta ripetizione di sempre le stesse cose per confermare, che qui non si può dire il falso e tanto meno realizzarlo.
