About meAlasdair Duncan is a writer, journalist, charming drunk and freelance practitioner of dark humour, based in Brisbane on the East Coast of Australia. Brisbane is a town renowned for its blue sky sublimity in the cooler months, and its summer transformation into a sweltering portal to madness. Al writes on a typewriter in an underground tunnel he burrowed himself, where he breathes through a straw. He survives by the good grace of cold beer, decent conversation and romantic, moonlit bouts of intense neurosis and self-doubt, and writes a weekly column for Rave, Brisbane's most popular music magazine.
About my libraryAlasdair, who for some reason has decided to refer to himself in the third person throughout this profile, is a fan of contemporary writers, especially conetmporary Americans. Some of his favourites include Tom Wolfe, Bret Easton Ellis, Jay McInerney, PJ O'Rourke, Donna Tartt, Martin Amis, Siri Hustvedt, Fran Lebowitz, Jeffrey Eugeneides, James St James, Carrie Fisher, Paul Auster, Elizabeth Wurtzel, Michael Chabon, Garrison Keillor and Plum Sykes.

- it's in your random books on the side, and i feel good in my heart about it-
i am currently drowing some angsty sorrows in the wonder of a title called 'nick and norah's infinite playlist' which is exceedingly pop culture referenced, a little on the smug side, but exceedingly fun too. you borrow my copy. if you want. i think you would appreciate it's glory. however, i find the fact that the context is contemporary - the music referenced is contemporary, yet myspace & tv are completely negated - is slightly weird.
