My Australian Dictionary of Biography entry for Ric Throssell (1922-1999) has been published on the ADB website: https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/throssell-ric-prichard-32379. Ric was the only child of Katharine Susannah Prichard and Hugo Throssell and lived with their legacy while leading a life of interest in its own right as a diplomat and author. The entry was really a collaboration with the research editor, Michelle Staff, who had the task of rewriting it to fit the house style and added to my portrait of Ric with some additional research. Thanks to Aiden Coleman who sent this opportunity my way.

I’ve written most of a memoir about her, but pruning that back to the right size for an ABD entry is not something I’m any good at…
