G'dday. Many of you would be aware that one of Australia's great authors, Elizabeth Jolley, died last year in her early eighties, writing right up to the end just like the authoress-character in her novel "Miss Peabody's Inheritance".
Although married, Ms Jolley displayed time and again a perceptive interest in the love between women in her books, ranging from the tender and romantic, through the unacknowledged as in "The Well", through to the sheer lesbian sleaziness of of "Miss Peabody's Inheritance". On ABC-1 next Tuesday night at 10.00, Artscape will feature Elizabeth Jolley's life and work, and it looks, from the trailers I've seen of it, like a very interesting show. I'll be sitting up for it. I thought many of the bookworms amongst up might like to do so too. And may I ask the webmistresses at Lemonkind and dykepage if they can put up a note temporarily to let their regulars know of the programme? Nisaba Merrieweather ... The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself.
