Ex-ABC-er Doing Well

Some of you will remember Joe Dunthorne, who used to write on here as (ahem, apologies, they were different days) "Spack":
Joe's career took flight in 2008 with the publication of Submarine, (I have an image of a flying submarine in my head now ... sorry about that) which was made into a pretty good film, although Joe's book is/was better.
Anyway, Joe has three novels published now and a poetry collection, but has taken a leap this year into non-fiction. His new book is called 'Children of Radium'. I am most definitely looking forward to reading Joe's latest.

"Children of Radium, in which he traces back the history of his great-grandfather, Siegfried Merzbacher, a German-Jewish chemist who developed radioactive toothpaste
and later contributed to chemical weapons research in Nazi Germany. In
examining his great-grandfather's 2000-page unpublished memoir and
conducting international research, Dunthorne's book explores themes of
historical truth, moral ambiguity and the complexities of family
legacy.^[8]"

 Anyway, I suppose the gist of this post is, "It could happen to you" ... And, honestly, it could. Keep on keeping on.
