GARRY DISHER LOCKDOWN Q&A
What are the little things that are getting you through this extraordinary time?
I live alone and greatly miss social contact. I would dearly love to give my daughter a hug, but she lives in the city and we don’t want to endanger each other and the police might stop me if I drive up to see her. I make do with a once-a-week beach walk with a friend—only one is allowed and we must keep two metres apart. Otherwise, I read, work, watch junk TV in the evenings, keep physically active and busy when I’m not writing, and phone friends a great deal more often.
