In this work, Martin Edmond 'meshes his real life and his thinking life in a fresh take on the notion of biography, a travelogue of the mind' and 'documents his artistic journey as a writer ... and his personal journey as a young man, in particular the last phase of an early marriage. Four quite separate periods or episodes in his life - in Europe, Australia, Fiji and New Zealand - are linked thematically and he intersperses his journey with the people he meets, the knowledge he gleans of place, in both the past and the present or reflections on the nature of art and its relation to personal life ....He peoples his landscape with the now-famous, who went unsung, at least for part of their lives - Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rimbaud, Wilde, George Grey, the architects of a Sydney incinerator - and with the decidedly not-famous - flatmates, friends, lovers' (Adapted from the publishers' website: http://www2.auckland.ac.nz/aup/books/edmond-chronicles.html sighted 02/01/2004).
