Elsewhere there was discussion of the ABC wantonly and irresponsibly letting their arts division decay. Art evokes - sport does not. Preserve art! Let sport look after itself, even if I help by watching the Tour de France.<br /><br />WestyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5063381673702357248.post-64090229269461987742007-11-22T21:47:00.000+11:002007-11-22T21:47:00.000+11:00Hey Sam - Thanks for the comments.

The SMH version was plastered upon the wall of Level 4 in Bon Marche a few weeks back.<BR/><BR/>What struck me most was the idea of a floating catholicism that kind of wilts in and out of you. I think that is an image that clashes with the very traditional knowledge of the catholic church, but it really cuts to the heart of faith/religion - some sort of yardstick for where you came from I guess.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Camilla mentioned you're working on a new novel. After reading Dastgah, I can't wait!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
