Articles by David Malouf
David Malouf on The New Queensland House
Brisbane, from its beginnings, presented a unique urban landscape. Its tin-roofed, one-storeyed weatherboards – protected by verandahs against the subtropical sunlight and raised on wooden stumps to deal with the hilly terrain of one bank of its serpentine river and the recurrent flooding of the other – had more in common with the British and French colonies of the Caribbean and near Pacific than with the Georgian stone terraces and villas of the southern European capitals.
Scammers use AI to fake health endorsements
A video shows high-profile Australians promoting alternative health treatments. AAP’s Verdict False. The content has been faked with the use of AI technology. A slew of high-profile Australians appear to promote alternative health treatments via video ads on social media. But the videos are fake, with Artificial intelligence (AI) technology used to generate the content. The videos generally use real clips of people speaking but replace the original dialogue with new words about an unrelated topic.

Sydney Writers' Festival - Closing Night Address: David Malouf
“I knew that the world around you is only uninteresting if you can’t see what is really going on. The place you come from is always the most exotic place you’ll ever encounter because it is the only place where you recognise how many secrets and mysteries there are in people’s lives.” – David Malouf David Malouf is a legend of Australian letters.
'A Grace Note', a poem by David Malouf
Poem Poem Four in the morning. Stumbling back to bed, the softness of my pillow in the spread of my fingers assumes again, after so long, the still longed for round of your head. How does it feel, out there in that undiscovered country from whose bourne et cetera, to be recalled, drawn back to your name on my lips again, the warmth of the flesh? I recall the promise we made and broke. Now, on a grace note of unbodied restoration in the dream-space timelessness of sleep, I keep it. A late gift.
David Malouf reviews 'Patrick White: A life' by David Marr
Writing to Geoffrey Dutton in 1969, Patrick White confesses: ‘All my life I have been rather bored, and I suppose in desperation I have been inclined to weave these fantasies in which I become more “involved”. Ignoble, au fond, but there have been a few results.’ He is speaking, in that typically wry last phrase, of the books.
The Breeding Season
Fiction Reviewed by Fiona Wright • The Breeding Season by Amanda Niehaus Allen & Unwin, $29.99 pb, 272 pp, 9781760529536 Fiction Reviewed by Fiona Wright • The Breeding Season is a novel that grapples with big ideas: the connections between death; grief, mortality and the bodily experience of them; how the male gaze preconditions how women (and female animals) are portrayed and described in science and art.
A First Place by David Malouf
A collection of personal essays and writing from David Malouf to celebrate his 80th birthday. Topography, geography, history. Multiculturalism, referendums, the constitution and national occasions. Parental and grandparental romances, the sensual and bountiful beauty of Brisbane, the mysterious offerings of Queenslander houses, and leaving home. The idea of a nation and the heart of its people. Being Australian and Australia's relationship to the world. Putting ourselves on the map.
Judith Bishop reviews 'An Open Book' by David Malouf
It is a curious thing, and not a little moving, to see writers celebrated for their work in other genres turn in later life with renewed vigour to poetry. David Malouf, like Clive James, has avowed a desire for poetry now, as the main form of writing his expression wants to take. Certainly, its brevity has a part in this, for the best of poems can happen, if fortunate, in minutes, not months, as Malouf himself observes.
Anatomy of an Evidence Base
An analysis was conducted of the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) research evidence base on the effectiveness of replicable education interventions. Most interventions were found to have little or no support from technically adequate research studies, and intervention effect sizes were of questionable magnitude to meet education policy goals.
Practice and Research in Special Education
This article considers possible reasons that research knowledge is not used more extensively in special education practice and suggests issues to be addressed in solving this problem. We contrast research knowledge and practice knowledge and describe factors that moderate the influence of research on practice, in both general and special education. These factors include teacher knowledge and learning, teacher attitudes and beliefs, and context.
THE COMPLETE STORIES
A superb collection of stories that are quiet, assured, lyrical, aching. A gathering of the short fiction—some of it not so short—of Australia’s poet of loneliness.
Return to Babylon
Opera Barrie Kosky’s production of Verdi’s Nabucco Opera Barrie Kosky’s production of Verdi’s Nabucco In Sydney last month, Barrie Kosky’s production of Verdi’s Nabucco was booed by a section of its first-night audience, a unique occurrence, this, at the Australian Opera, but one that Kosky took in good part as an extension of the ‘playful’ side of the evening’s events. The complaint against the production was twofold.
Updating the Classics (of Greek and Roman Literature)
To quote Italo Calvino, why read the classics? Why bother with them at all? As I reach my dotage, the obvious response to that is that the classics are just good. You could equally well ask, why read Spanish literature? It’s a body of very interesting work that happens to be in Greek and Latin. Beyond that, because it is the primal literature of the West it gets you to the place where everything begins. It’s the source. It has led us to where we are now.
