Wadi Rum, Jordan


Wadi Rum 08

Earlier this year.
This is Lawrence of Arabia country, literally. The Seven Pillars of Wisdom is just around corner. This is a particularly beautiful part of the desert. I climbed up a bit of a hill to take this photgraph but there were beautiful vistas everywhere and in the middle of nothing muc, a Bedouin tent.

I've just updated the links pages on my site and on the presspress site with some interesting new things. Have a look.

And if you haven't been there before, look at the blusterhead blog as well.

Bradstock reviews Mortifications & Lies

"Mortifications & Lies is an important book, both stylistically and thematically a ground-breaking book. One emerges from the experience of reading it disturbed and challenged. Its haunting rhythms do not easily let go. It reinforces insights many of us already possess, but reminds us of the need to reject complacency, to become involved.

Many of Mansell's books are already recorded on CD. It is to be hoped Mortifications & Lies will soon follow suit."
