  • Christos Tsiolkas Is, and Why We’Re Studying Him in This Course
    Who is Tsiolkas Before we get into the lecture proper, it’s probably important to elaborate on who Christos Tsiolkas is, and why we’re studying him in this course. So, let’s get the short version out of the way - Tsiolkas is a gay Greek-Australian, the son of post-war migrants. He grew up in Richmond, and went to Melbourne University, where he was the editor of the student magazine Farrago. Tsiolkas is one of Australia's more successful contemporary literary novelists. He has been awarded a number of prizes and has made it to some very significant shortlists. And his books are selling well around the world. We must be very careful to use the term literary because in overall sales he is still streets behind writers like Colleen McCulloch and Bryce Courtney, writers of popular fiction. And to emphasise this point – last year The Age’s literary editor, Jason Steger wrote You won't have forgotten that period a couple of years ago when everyone seemed to be reading Tsiolkas's book. You could hardly step into the pub or out for dinner without some bright spark buttonholing you to find out what you thought. Upon which several people commenting on the article immediately pounced on that comment and said they had never heard of the book, nor Tsiolkas, and that Steger was living in a cocoon. Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/the-slap- still-shocks-in-tv-translation-20111006-1lb2v.html#ixzz1tTPruGht Those of us who are familiar with him as a novelist may be surprised to find out that he is actually quite a prolific writer, having written or contributed to several plays, screen plays, art exhibitions, as well as writings on his love of film.
