  • About the Book 2 About the Author 2 Conversation Starters 3 for Reference 4 Also by Michelle De Kretser 4 If You Liked This Book
    About the book 2 About the author 2 Conversation starters 3 For reference 4 Also by Michelle de Kretser 4 If you liked this book ... 4 Welcome to Allen & Unwin’s Book Group Guide for The Life to Come the dazzling new novel from Michelle de Kretser, author of Questions of Travel, bestseller and winner of the Miles Franklin Award. About the book Set in Sydney, Paris and Sri Lanka, The Life to Come is a mesmerising novel about the stories we tell and don’t tell ourselves as individuals, as societies and as nations. It feels at once firmly classic and exhilaratingly contemporary. Pippa is a writer who longs for success. Celeste tries to convince herself that her feelings for her married lover are reciprocated. Ash makes strategic use of his childhood in Sri Lanka but blots out the memory of a tragedy from that time. Driven by riveting stories and unforgettable characters, here is a dazzling meditation on intimacy, loneliness and our flawed perception of other people. Profoundly moving as well as wickedly funny, The Life to Come reveals how the shadows cast by both the past and the future can transform, distort and undo the present. This extraordinary novel by Miles Franklin-winning author Michelle de Kretser will strike to your soul. ‘...one of those rare writers whose work balances substance with style. Her writing is very witty, but it also goes deep, informed at every point by a benign and far-reaching intelligence.’ Kerryn Goldsworthy, Sydney Morning Herald About the author Michelle de Kretser was born in Sri Lanka and emigrated to Australia when she was 14.

  • Media Release
    Media Release Sofie Laguna named winner of Miles Franklin Award 2015 Award has supported Australian authors with close to $1 million in philanthropic funds distributed 23 June 2015 Perpetual, as Trustee of the Miles Franklin Literary Award, today announced Sofie Laguna as the winner of the 2015 award for her novel, The Eye of the Sheep. The Miles Franklin Literary Award, recognised as Australia’s most prestigious literary prize, was established in 1954 through the Will of My Brilliant Career author, Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin, to encourage and support writers of Australian literature. Ms Laguna will receive $60,000 in prize money with her novel strongly presenting “Australian Life in any of its phases” and judged to be of the “highest literary merit”, in line with the criteria set out by Miles Franklin. Since moving away from careers in law and acting, Melbourne-based Ms Laguna has written for a wide readership, from picture books for very young children to series for older readers. Her debut novel for adults, One Foot Wrong, was long-listed for the Miles Franklin Literary Award in 2009. The Eye of the Sheep was selected from a short list of powerful Australian voices depicting unforgettable characters, including authors Joan London, Sonya Hartnett, Christine Piper and Craig Sherborne. Commenting on behalf of the judging panel, State Library of NSW Mitchell Librarian, Richard Neville, said that the power of Ms Laguna’s finely crafted novel lies in the “raw, high-energy and coruscating language” which describes the world of central character, young Jimmy Flick. “Jimmy Flick is a character who sees everything, but his manic x-ray perceptions don’t correspond with the way others see his world.

  • High Wire Act: Peter Carey's My Life As a Fake Anthony
    The Journal of the European Association for Studies of Australia, Vol.6 No.1, 2015 High Wire Act: Peter Carey’s My Life as a Fake Anthony J. Hassall Copyright © Anthony J. Hassall 2015. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: This essay examines how Carey displays the multiple fakeries of fiction in My Life as a Fake. It notes the multiple inter-textual references to the Ern Malley hoax and the gothic horror of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. It examines the three unreliable narrating voices, the uneven characterisation of Christopher Chubb, and the magic realism seeking to animate Bob McCorkle and his present/absent book My Life as a Fake. It argues that the dazzling display of meta-fictional complexity, much celebrated by reviewers, contributes to the book’s failure to create engaging characters and a credible narrative. Keywords: fiction; fakery; meta-fictional complexity; inter-textual reference; unreliable narration; engaging characters; credible narrative I Peter Carey’s My Life as a Fake (2003) is a typically risk-taking venture. Its spectacular exposure of the multiple fakeries involved in telling the stories of fictional characters is compelling, but it is less persuasive in rendering those fictional characters credible and sympathetic. The first of Carey’s books to be published by Random House, it did not emulate the spectacular success of True History of the Kelly Gang. Initially uncertain of how to respond, some reviewers devoted more space to re-telling the Ern Malley story than to the book itself, which understandably frustrated the author (“Carey’s take on snub?” 1).

They live in a dream. The subtle poison that penetrates their brain renders them insensible to the real world and makes them prey of terrible or delightful phantoms. Books are the opium of the Occident. They devour us. A day is coming on which we shall all be keepers of libraries, and that will be the end. (Anatole France 1888) I was wondering about the theory of the composite man. The man who might evolve in a few thousand years if we broke down all the barriers. Or if they broke themselves down, which is more likely. A completely unrestricted mating - black, white, brown, yellow, all the racial characteristics blended, all the resulting generations coming into the world free of the handicaps that are hung round the necks of half-casts now. (Eleanor Dark 1938) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To write this history of Australian literature was as difficult as it was enjoyable. Many times I felt very alone, locked into a private world of books and ideas. Yet many people expressed interest in this project and offered their support.
