Her husband is the best car salesman in rural south eastern Australia. Together with Willie, their lanky navigator, they embark upon the Redex Trial, a brutal race around the continent, over roads no car will ever quite survive. A Long Way from Home is Peter Carey&#8217;s late style masterpiece; a thrilling high speed story that starts in one way, then takes you to another place altogether. Set in the 1950s in the embers of the British Empire, painting a picture of Queen and subject, black, white and those in-between, this brilliantly vivid novel illustrates how the possession of an ancient culture spirals through history &#8211; and the love made and hurt caused along the way.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/41075817-a-long-way-from-home\"> More on Goodreads<\/a><\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.gr-assets.com\/images\/S\/compressed.photo.goodreads.com\/books\/1533783291l\/41075817._SY475_.jpg?w=200&#038;ssl=1\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n\n\n<table><tr><td><b>Today&#8217;s Blog of Interest<\/b><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width:350px\"><b>Ars Technica<\/b> was founded in 1998 when Founder &#038; Editor-in-Chief Ken Fisher announced his plans for starting a publication devoted to technology that would cater to what he called &#8220;alpha geeks&#8221;: technologists and IT professionals.<\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2019\/08\/16000-year-old-site-in-idaho-indicates-people-sailed-around-the-ice-sheet\/\">Stone tools suggest the first Americans came from Japan<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n\n\n<table><tr><td><b>Today&#8217;s Poetry of Interest<\/b><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width:350px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tmkrishna\/videos\/2307330859362928\/\">The Light of A Candle<\/a> by Agha Shahid Ali<\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n\n\n<table><tr><td><b>Today&#8217;s Podcast of Interest<\/b><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width:350px\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/\">London Review of Books<\/a><br>A recent one is here\n<a href=\"\nhttps:\/\/www.lrb.co.uk\/2019\/08\/20\/lrb-podcast\/lowell-studies\">Robert Lowell Studies<\/a> <\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n\n\n<table><tr><td><b>Today&#8217;s Photographer of Interest<\/b><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width:350px\" \"text-align:center\"=\"\">Steve Parish,<br><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gallery.steveparish-natureconnect.com.au\/assets\/slider010.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><br><a href=\"https:\/\/gallery.steveparish-natureconnect.com.au\/index.php\">Steve Parish<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Information Filter &#8211; It&#8217;s SPRING Downunder!!!
