Here I am at the Cannes Film Festival

TRIVIA

Writer’s statement

I have worked with words, ideas, images and stories all my life: as an academic in Australia, Europe and China, as writer-director of over 30 broadcast documentary and fiction films., as a playwright and theatre maker. Now, after 60 years of grafting at typewriter and computer keyboards, I have narrowed my focus to the gentle art of novel writing.

I live with my first and only wife in Canberra, Australia. We have three grown-up children and four grandchildren. We try to re-visit Kong Kong as often as we can.
