“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

For more information and a clip of Heath at home in southern New South Wales, check this ABC link. That's Heath playing one bonnie afternoon at Lazy Ballerina Winery in the Kuitpo Forest, over the range from Casa Blanca ... photos Philip White
