One of Australia''s most respected novelists, Alex Miller''s writing is both popular and critically well-received. He is twice winner of Australia''s premier literary prize, the Miles Franklin Award. He has said that writing is his way of ''locating connections'' and his work is known for its deeply empathic engagement with relationships and cultures.
This collection explores his early and later works, including Miller''s best-known novels, The Ancestor Game, Journey to the Stone Country, Lovesong and Autumn Laing. Contributors examine his intricately constructed plots, his interest in the nature of home and migration, the representation in his work of Australian history and culture, and key recurring themes including art and Aboriginal issues. Also included is a memoir, illustrated by photographs from his personal collection, in which Alex Miller reflects on his writing life.
With contributions from leading critics including Raimond Gaita, Peter Pierce, Ronald A. Sharp, Brenda Walker, Elizabeth Webby and Geordie Williamson, this collection is the first substantial critical analysis of Alex Miller''s work. It is an invaluable resource for anyone teaching and studying contemporary Australian literature.
