Greenland’s gyrfalcon settlements have been continuously inhabited for at least 2,700 years – about as long as there has been a city called Rome – while a penguin colony on Adelaide Island in Antarctica ‘was founded before Thebes, before Hebron, before Athens’.Īn Indifference of Birds is a book full of such dizzying perspectives. In some cases, they have been in one place, even at one nesting site, for astonishing lengths of time. They were there, in their earliest forms, when dinosaurs roamed the planet. But, as Richard Smyth points out in An Indifference of Birds, ‘the birds were always there’.

The widening gyre, the falcon which does not hear the falconer, the gaze blank and pitiless as the sun those have been my points of reference, the only images against which much of what I was seeing and hearing and thinking seemed to make any pattern. This book is called Slouching Towards Bethlehem because for several years now certain lines from the Yeats poem which appears two pages back have reverberated in my inner ear as if they were surgically implanted there. Hazel, the child at the centre of it all, is three years older, and less interesting because of it. The gratuitous naked breasts are more perfunctory. A Terrible Thing happened at the end of Volume 9, and though the characters have had three years to adjust, it feels as if they all have that much less spark.

But delighted is not too strong a word for my reaction when the Comics experts at Kinokuniya told me the hiatus had ended and monthly comics Nº 55–60 had been collected to make Volume 10.
