Dedication: for Neela Griffiths
-
Epigraph: 'While reporting to provincial authorities in Kupang, the Timorese capital, in 1979, I heard rumours that the new influx of Europen and Australian tourists signalled that heads would be taken and used to fortify the building of international hotels.' - Janet Hoskins ' Headhunting as Practice and Trope.'
-
Epigraph: 'The relationship between body and soul becomes one of shared fates. As the abandoned body sinks into ruinous corruption, the soul also changes its nature, and not for the better. Progressivley it takes on a dreadfulness of its own... Only the passage of time can alleviate this condition, the slow ebbing of putrescence, leaving dry bones, hard and imperishable.' Peter Metcalf 'Images of Headhunting.'
