Take Two: Profession: Journalist, Clem Lloyd

For a full review, see my Patreon. 

This old thing has been in my archive for donkey’s years, bought at Berkelouw’s for $8.50. I’d never got around to even think of opening it but recent economising made me get serious about this Hale & Iremonger publication. The year it appeared sits right smack at the point of origin of me as a writer: I’d graduated with my Arts degree but nobody in 1985 could have told me – and have been taken seriously – what I’d end up spending the majority of my time doing (though going by the types of people who gravitated to the profession at the end of the 19th century, I might’ve guessed!).
