Ever since the blog turned the internet into everybody's journal/soapbox/public bathroom wall, its gotten harder to winnow brilliance out from innumerable dilettantes. This problem multiplies itself when the focus of the blog is Sydney. Thankfully, the strapping young James Ross-Edwards has stepped to the crease with his marvelous ‘Big Coronas Or Tiny Men'.
Running for over two years now BCoTM has developed into a blend of fiction, raw observations, faux celebrity worship, personal experience and self-deprecatingly wry humour. Walking a fine line between larrikin and louche, James' style is confident, and his gaze has fallen over so much of this town that there is guaranteed to be something recognizable to all who read it, whether geographical or cultural. This at times thoughtful, mostly hilarious journal-style site is definitely a blog worth reading to come to grips with the zeitgeist of this fair city. Added bonus: no cat pictures.
