Chris Pash | Journalism, Narrative Nonfiction, Writing and Cliche of the Week | Page 2

https://chrispash.wordpress.com/page/2

Cliche of the Week 122 – Brute Force. Brute force, where overwhelming numbers are used to roll a smaller opposition on a battlefield or in a political debate, is at best a short-term solution. It is also an easy option to use “brute force” in news reports, with the phrase appearing in mainstream media more than 300 times a month or twice that if web news is included. Chris Pash’s book, The Last Whale. A true story set in the 1970s about Australia’s last whaling station and the activists who fought to clo...

The Black House – Peter May | Avadhut Recommends

https://avadhutrecommends.wordpress.com/2014/06/22/the-black-house-peter-may

An open book is a mind that speaks; closed, a friend who waits; forgotten, a soul that forgives; destroyed, a heart that weeps. The Black House – Peter May. June 22, 2014.

An open book is a mind that speaks; closed, a friend who waits; forgotten, a soul that forgives; destroyed, a heart that weeps. I am always on lookout for good books and that means sifting through a lot of sites. There are some really good meeting places for book lovers like Goodreads and Shelfari. They definitely tell you whether the book is worth buying or not but what I really like is a well written review by an independent blogger. Thank you and happy reading!

The Best Policy: August 2012

http://honestlythebestpolicy.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Come, Children, gather round and hear what it is I have to say. Honesty, after all, is The Best Policy. Tuesday, 14 August 2012. Not the hero I was looking for. I remember being elated when I discovered that Julia Gillard had been appointed Prime Minister of Australia. It appeared that we now had a fresh Labor – one that would need the support of the Greens and the Independents to operate, our fearless leader – an unmarried, atheist woman. Then Julia pissed me off with the acknowledgement that her person...

The Best Policy: September 2011

http://honestlythebestpolicy.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Come, Children, gather round and hear what it is I have to say. Honesty, after all, is The Best Policy. Sunday, 25 September 2011. There need only be ONE argument for the legalisation of same sex marriage. You be the judge. Equal Marriage is not about love. Equal Marriage is not about ‘providing married parents for kids’. Equal Marriage is not about the economy. Equal Marriage is not about proving that same sex couples are capable of monogamy. Do you see the common thread to my argument? Letter to my Dad.
