A review by viragohaus
Island 135 by Matthew Lamb
4.0
A considerable collection of non-fiction beside which the included fiction and poetry pale somewhat.
Highlights include:
- Geoff Heriot's Blurred Vision, a fascinating case study in managing change based on Heriot's time as an ABC employee seconded to the South African Broadcasting Corporation.
- editor Matthew Lamb's meaty, challenging interview with Tim Dunlop, author of 'The New Front Page: New Media and the Rise of the Audience'
- Ruth Quibell and Damon Young's interesting survey of how a range of writers manage their private lives and workloads.
The design of Island, with a plus-magazine format, is also a great display case for the art of Roger Ballen (whose 'Blinded' provides the cover image) and Leigh Hobba -amongst others- as well as being a beautiful object in its own right.
