Sinopse

Norfolk Mutiny explores the multifaceted history of Norfolk Island, a remote Pacific outpost shaped by the infamous Mutiny on the Bounty, its subsequent settlement by mutineers and their Polynesian companions, and its grim role as a brutal penal colony. The book examines how extreme circumstances forged a unique society on this tiny island.

 
Consider that the mutiny on the HMS Bounty, triggered by Captain Bligh's tyranny and the allure of Tahiti, set in motion a chain of events leading to the establishment of a unique Anglo-Polynesian community. Later, descendants of the Bounty mutineers relocated from Pitcairn Island due to overcrowding, bringing their distinct culture and language to Norfolk Island.

 
The book traces the island's history from the initial Bounty mutiny and the establishment of the Pitcairn settlement to the penal colony years, detailing the harsh conditions endured by convicts and the administrative structures in place. It culminates with the Pitcairn Islanders' resettlement and their efforts to build a new community while grappling with the legacy of their predecessors.

 
Drawing on British Admiralty documents, convict records, and oral histories, Norfolk Mutiny provides a comprehensive and accessible account of Norfolk Island's past, highlighting themes of resilience, adaptation, and the negotiation of identity in this isolated environment.

    Writing is, and always will be, an act defined by failure. The best plan is to just get used to it.
    		 
    Failure is a topic discussed in every creative writing department in the world, but this is the book every beginning writer should have on their shelf to prepare them. Less a guide to writing and more a guide to what you need to continue existing as a writer, On Writing and Failure: Or, On the Peculiar Perseverance Required to Endure the Life of a Writer describes the defining role played by rejection in literary endeavors and contemplates failure as the essence of the writer’s life. Along with his own history of rejection, Marche offers stories from the history of writerly failure, from Ovid’s exile and Dostoevsky’s mock execution to James Baldwin's advice just to endure, where living with the struggle and the pointlessness of writing is the point.
