uly 26th I caught up with Colin Batrouney,a Melbourne-based writer who has occasionally worked in professional theatre as both an actor and director. Affirm Press has just released his second novel ‘Creative Writing for Beginners.’ I had read his first novel ‘Omar and Enzo in the big talking book’ (published Clouds of Magellan in 2007 and these two books felt like they were written by different people. I was keen to know how this seemed so possible.
