Beskrivning

Alex Miller: The Ruin of Time is the first sole-authored critical survey of the respected Australian novelist's eleven novels. While these books are immediately accessible to the general reading public, they are manifestly works of high literary seriousness substantial, technically masterful and assured, intricately interconnected, and of great imaginative, intellectual and ethical weight.

Recensioner i media

'Dixon maps the expanses of Miller’s thought – the “intellectual achievement” of the fiction – with precision and understanding ... It is heartening to read a critical work of such scope and acuity, and important for the future of Australian literature that publishers such as Sydney University Press continue to be so committed to Australian criticism.’
