- H._A._Willis abstract "H.A. Willis (Howard Alan Willis) is an Australian essayist, critic and editor. Born in November 1948 at Colac, Victoria, he grew up in that state (Apollo Bay, Kyneton and Ballarat) and subsequently lived in Darwin, Auckland (1970–80) and rural Tasmania before settling with his wife and their two young sons in Perth in late 1981.As a student at LaTrobe University he was one of the group who, in October 1967, wrote and produced the first issue of Cinema Papers, edited by Philippe Mora. In 1976 he wrote Cinema Paper’s first in-depth account of the New Zealand film industry.As a student at the University of Auckland, he was a founding member of Alternative Cinema, the Auckland Film-makers’ Cooperative, established in 1972. He contributed articles to and edited several early issues of that group’s journal, Alternative Cinema.While in New Zealand he produced (for the NZBC) a half-hour television documentary, Stanley, filmed in October-November 1974, about the twelve-day manhunt in October 1941 for the mass-killer, Stanley Graham. Based on his interviews with participants in the manhunt, and his access to the previously closed Police files, Willis wrote Manhunt, the most detailed account of the event. The feature film Bad Blood (1982 film), based on his book, starred Jack Thompson (actor) and Carol Burns. In 2012 Willis returned to Hokitika, where Graham is buried. His account of his trip to Westland and the Graham story was published in the Travel section of The West Australian newspaper. His visit to New Zealand also generated a homage to the earthquake damaged city of Christchurch and its WWII resident, Karl Popper.Since settling in Western Australia he has worked as an archival researcher, book editor and reviewer. Between 1989 and 2006 he wrote about 250 reviews for The West Australian, The Age and The Canberra Times. He has also written a number of longer articles on subjects that include the closure of the old Metters stove factory in Perth, chronic pain, colonial and Aboriginal history, cultural stereotyping and environmental issues. His essay on pain was selected as the Western Australian finalist for the MBF Health and Well Being awards for 1994. In 1994 Willis interviewed Tim Winton for Eureka Street; Winton later dedicated his Breath (novel) (2008) to Willis. In 2010 he joined the History wars debate over the introduction and history of smallpox in Australia, arguing that the 1789 outbreak near Sydney originated from a Macassan introduction through Northern Australia. When Keith Windschuttle published The Fabrication of Aboriginal History, Volume One (2002), Willis undertook a detailed analysis of the author's cited sources in order to dispute his figure for Tasmanian Aborigines killed during hostilities in Van Diemen's Land. In relation to that debate, Robert Manne described Willis as “a conservative scholar ... known for his scrupulousness”.As a non-fiction editor, Willis prepared for publication (contributing the title) The Last of the Last (2009), the autobiography of Claude Choules, the last combat veteran of WW1. At the time of publication Choules was 108, making him the world’s oldest first time author. Other titles edited by Willis include From Kastellorizo (2006), Michael (Stratos) Jack Kailis’s memoir of his extended family, and Nurses with Altitude (2008), a collection of stories by Western Australian nurses of the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia.Between 1982 and 1991 Willis published eleven short stories in various literary journals, including Overland (magazine), Australian Short Stories, Brave New Word, Going Down Swinging, The Weekend Australian and Island.More recently, he indexed and was one of the editorial annotators of The Australind Journals of Marshall Waller Clifton 1840-1861, published in 2010. In 2011 he wrote the introductory essay to a reprinted edition of Thermo-Electrical Cooking Made Easy, first published in Kalgoorlie in 1907 and claimed to be the world’s first cookbook for an electric stove.".
