  • Giving Off Smoke

    Giving Off Smoke

    This random, often playful, collection of some 100 bits and pieces has been assembled in many places over many years and in the cracks between major undertakings. It is up to the reader (hopefully reading out loud) to sample them and decide if they point to anything and what that is. Ultimately, pieces like these are private, personal, even idiosyncratic, sometimes little more than doodling or diary entries. So, the reader might draw a blank. The author hopes, however, that at least here and there, his smoke points to fire. And helps kind readers fill in their cracks.

  • Di Tempat Kejadian Perkara

    Di Tempat Kejadian Perkara

    Selama hampir tiga dekade Pat Walsh bergiat dalam perjuangan internasional untuk hak asasi manusia di Timor-Leste, sebelum ia menikmati keistimewaan bekerja di negara baru itu selama sepuluh tahun pertama kemerdekaannya dari Indonesia. Di Tempat Kejadian Perkara adalah kumpulan tulisan Pat Walsh di masa-masa yang menarik itu. Tertuang di dalamnya gado-gado perkara politik, pribadi, dan liris yang terasa nikmat. Buku ini fokus pada Timor-Leste tapi tidak anti-Indonesia. Walsh pertama kali mengunjungi Indonesia pada 1968 dan sejak saat itu aktif membela hak asasi manusia di Indonesia. Optimismenya bahwa rakyat Indonesia pada akhirnya akan berbicara mengenai kejahatan sejarah yang terjadi baik di Indonesia maupun di Timor-Leste terungkap dalam tulisan-tulisan di buku ini. “Di Tempat Kejadian Perkara karya Pat Walsh memberi wawasan sekaligus menghibur.

    Penulis: sangat antusias dengan Timor-Leste, seperti halnya dengan Indonesia, dan ia telah mendedikasikan hampir empat dekade hidupnya untuk berjuang demi keadilan dan kebebasan rakyat dua negara itu.” —Jose Ramos-Horta, Penerima Nobel Perdamaian dan mantan Presiden Timor-Leste

  • The Day Hope and History Rhymed in East Timor

    The Day Hope and History Rhymed in East Timor

    In 1999, in a remote corner of the world, something almost miraculous happened. After 500 years of colonialism, the political stars finally aligned and the people of Timor-Leste, written off as losers in the face of irreversible odds, successfully voted for freedom. Twenty years on, Pat Walsh remembers the day like it was yesterday. In this colourful collection of stories about Timor-Leste, he also draws on his many years living in Dili to recall with wry affection the city’s traffic, roosters and a motley array of characters. The latter range from a Norwegian bishop to a cockfight promoter, an Australian called Dagg, a honey seller, a cat with only six lives, a girl called Menahaha, and two intellectual giants whose contributions to their human rights are largely unknown in Timor-Leste. Believing that the past is a friend to lean on, not an enemy, he also takes the opportunity to remind the Indonesian military of their failings. But, in the same vein, he also laments the futile loss of Indonesian lives, the damage to Indonesia’s dignity, and the subversion of the rules-based international order that marked the 24 year occupation. Written with touches of humour, The Day Hope and History Rhymed in East Timor is a personal, insightful, and sometimes whimsical, set of narratives that fills a gap between the academic and the trivial on this endearing, but improbable, new nation.

  • A Window on Our Street: Sondering through Covid-19 in Northcote

    A Window on Our Street: Sondering through Covid-19 in Northcote

    Thanks to the COVID-19 lockdown, Pat Walsh has re-discovered the street in Melbourne where he’s lived for forty years. Sondering like a teddy bear, he’s been treated to glimpses into lives, vivid and complex like his own, that have scrolled past on the screen of his front window. His appreciation is a mix of history, anecdote and whimsy, both serious and playful in tone and laced with humour. COVID-affected, he reveals that he innocently imported a Russian virus to Northcote. But then comforts readers by morphing into the sun that, Dylan Thomas style, sends a blessing to his street and its doomed but iconic gum trees.
