'Murray recalls some childhood memories; he speaks of his days at Scotch College, Melbourne; the attraction of religion, studying as an Anglican priest ; accepting a church in the heart of Sydney and his involvement with the social problems in his parish; his falling out with the church; how he began to write; his return to teaching; writing The Mask of Time : An Indonesian Discovery; his method and motivation for writing; he comments on and reads a passage from Larrikins : 19th Century Outrage.'
