1 The Spanish Version of Me : Dumber, Cruder and More Carefree Koren Helbig , 2015 single work prose
— Appears in: The Lifted Brow , June no. 26 2015; (p. 23-27) 'In hindsight, I suppose my approach was a tad cavalier. Pop to a few classes, listen to the odd podcast and. voila!.I'd be fluent in a second language. "You'll pick it up quickly," all and sundry proclaimed on the rare occasions I expressed niggling unease over my inabili. to croak out even basic sentences, despite my rapidly approaching relocation from Australia to Spain.' (Introduction)
1 All the Love Gone Bad : On Men and Music Lost Koren Helbig , 2014 single work prose
— Appears in: Kill Your Darlings , April no. 17 2014; (p. 84-92) 'So indelibly tied to music are my relationship failures that each time I've lost a beloved, a dear song or record has been sacrificed too. It hit me as I crawled into bed late one night with The National, expecting Matt Berninger's melancholic baritone to lull me quickly off to sleep. Six hours later as dawn broke I was more awake than ever, each loop of the album plunging me deeper into regret about a relationship I'd ended - and thought I'd dealt with - almost two years earlier.'
