— Appears in: Island , no. 137 2014; (p. 42-43) 'In the spring of 2009 I began my biography binge. The conditions were near perfect. The baby still slept during the day, and the toddler would amuse himself for hours in the sandpit. I had a month's annual leave at the end of a five-year contract, and I could afford the time to finally read Edel's Bloomsbury: A House of Lions (Penguin, 1979) outside on the grass. But why was I reading about the lives of others? What was I hoping to find?' (Publication summary)
1 Public Writers, Private Lives Ruth Quibell , Damon Young , 2013 single work criticism
— Appears in: Island , Summer no. 135 2013; (p. 42-49) 'Many people struggle to maintain a healthy work-life balance. But what happens when you add a third component, such as writing, to the scales? For many readers, the public face of the writer that they encounter is in newspaper or radio interviews, at book signings in bookshops, or on panels at writers’ festivals. But what happens when the journalist walks away, when the radio transmission is silenced, when the bookshop is closed and all the people go home, when the festival is over? Island asked sociologist Ruth Quibell and philosopher Damon Young to explore the private face of the writers’ life, and the work-life-writing balance it entails' (Publication abstract)
