![]() ![]() I’ve read Miller’s Tropic of Cancer (but I never got through Capricorn) and Anais Nin’s Delta of Venus, so I have an idea of what Russell is referring to here. So what’s it about? Firstly, the title refers to Henry Miller, the famous (but now apparently out of favour) American writer. (in my salad days…) He must have been writing Channelling Henry around this time. ![]() I knew Bruce Russell slightly in 2000 when he taught a creative writing class at Curtin that I happened to be in. I haven’t read Jacob’s Air or Russell’s second book, The Chelsea Manifesto, but I know where I can find a copy of both. His first novel, Jacob’s Air, won the TAG Hungerford Award in 1995, at which time Russell must have been over 50 already. I don’t know if Bruce Russell was a late starter in writing, but he was certainly a late starter in getting his books published. ![]()
