Also, ooof, that peice 'finding a way back from suicide'. So heartbreaking, and beautiful. It made me wonder what the experience of psychiatric in-patient wards are in NZ - I know there's been a lot of criticism of the buildings/spaces themselves....

I know and agree, heartbreaking and beautiful. Yeah, it would be really interesting to know about NZ experiences of the same.

Great artwork selection! If I do say so myself! I'm looking forward to what you think of Johnathan Franzen's novel. I've only read some of his climate changey articles. Do you have any novles of his you recommend? Esther

Excellent art selection, isn't is? ;-). And because I see the stats, I know lots of people clicked on yours and David's links, and that's because you're both amazing. Re. Franzen - The Corrections is by far his best novel - it's amazing. He had two before that one that are pretty blah, and then after the success of The Corrections, two more which were highly anticipated - they were both readable, but also frustrating. I really recommend his book for essays, How To Be Alone.
