Koch contradicted Lisney's testimony, claiming that it was Lisney who instigated the fight, by getting "right up in my face and telling me he was going to kick my ass." Koch testified that he pushed Lisney against his chest to create distance between them and then Lisney stabbed him.
Koch was permitted to remain in the courtroom.
The court stated that although Koch's credibility was an important issue, the jury had been told of Koch's prior convictions many times during the trial, by both the prosecutor and trial counsel, and that it gave a general instruction on credibility.

 Koch's 30-year-old fiction still resonates in Indonesia - theage.com.au
In a tribute to the authenticity of Koch's recreation of the atmosphere in Jakarta in 1965, many readers fail to distinguish between fact and fiction in the novel.
Koch also reminds his interviewers that Guy Hamilton, the central character in his book, is fictitious and not based on his brother.
While Koch did not witness the events portrayed in his novel, he has vivid memories of the poverty and bankruptcy that was Sukarno's legacy and which still blighted the country when he arrived in 1968.

 Review – Christopher J. Koch's Highway to A War
Koch's narrative mode, though, differs from Conrad in that it is polyphonic: aside from the primary narrator's recollections of Langford, subsidiary characters, both European and Vietnamese join in and filter events and impressions through the prism of their own ideological viewpoints, and Langford's own tape-recorded archives also feature significantly in the account.
Koch is laboring neither to promulgate Orientalism nor to remedy it.
Koch's attitude to Vietnam and Cambodian history of the 1960's and 1970's is, broadly speaking, "revisionist".

 Towards the Neuronal Substrate of Visual Consciousness
This article is adapted from the chapter by C. Koch, entitled Towards the neuronal substrate of visual consciousness.
Our hypothesis (Crick and Koch, 1995a,b) is too speculative to be convincing as it stands, since we are not yet confident as to how to think correctly about most of the operations of the brain, and especially about the detailed function of the so-called "back pathways." Many readers will find these suggestion counter-intuitive.
This hypothesis (Crick and Koch, 1994), then is a somewhat subtle one, though we believe that if it turns out to be true, it will eventually come to be regarded as completely obvious.

 Poets&Writers, Inc.
Much of the work of the poet Kenneth Koch can be seen as courting greatness in art through lightness—what David Lehman calls "levity in defiance of gravity." From early in his writing life, Koch realized that without lightness, unchecked heaviness can make a thunderous tonnage of art.
Koch was awarded the Bollingen Prize for Poetry from the Yale University Library in 1995, and the following year he won the Rebekah Johnson Bobbit National Prize for Poetry from the Library of Congress.
There is never a sour or bitter note in his work, and even in the most somber and sober poems there is comedy of the profoundest sort, a sense that life is wonderful, thinking is wonderful, and poetry is an art of celebration.

So it was with some chagrin that I read Christopher Koch's latest sprawling saga, Highways To A War.
It's the story of two Tasmanian boys, one somewhat laid-back and stay-at-home (the narrator), the other wild and sensitive and something of a risk-taker.
Koch, the author of The Year Of Living Dangerously, has a delightfully limpid prose style: "The past is alive, and full of juices.

 HIGHWAYS TO A WAR by Christopher J Koch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Missing, but perhaps still alive, Langford exerts a fascination over everyone who knows him, and his contemporaries invest this essentially ordinary, country-bred Australian with the qualities of a hero from myth.
"Koch also depicts a wartime Indo-China which itself seems semi-mythical: deceptively tranquil paddy fields of the Vietnam delta, where the figures of the Viet Cong appear like fl ghosts; the pink and cream city of Phnom Penh, locked in a long colonial dream - a dream that will turn to nightmare.
"With his new novel, Highways to a War, Christopher Koch, author of The Year of Living Dangerously, establishes himself as one of the most important Australian writers of the last thirty years."
