A while ago, ABC Radio National First Person producer Justine Sloan-Lees very kindly invited me to read out the essay I had published in Kill Your Darlings 6, ‘Untying the tongue’. In the studio she was extremely patient with my slip-ups and stumbles, with my nervous fidgeting of feet under the desk (the mic was picking the sound of me crossing and uncrossing them, apparently). Anyway, the result was broadcast last Friday and is now available online: you can listen to it via the First Person website.

By the way, was my reply to the Don Quixote lost? It never appeared!

I know what you mean about listening to your own voice – more excruciating than seeing images. Strange too, perhaps it triggers memory receptors or something. When my friend died, he left recordings of his songs. I’m fine with photographs of him but haven’t listened to the CDs yet because I think the sound of his voice would do me in.
