On David Malouf: Writers on Writers by Nam Le

$17.99 AUD

Category: Art & Design

'[on reading Malouf for the first time] Here was a very-much-alive half-Lebanese (from provincial Brisbane, no less) producing English-language writing of the first order. And that in prose, not poetry. The poetry was in the prose; it stayed and sprung its rhythms, chorded its ideas, concentrated its im ages. Every other novel claims to be written in "poetic prose"; the real thing, when you come across it, is actually quite shocking.' On David Malouf is unlike anything else written about one of Australia's most acclaimed writers. Nam Le, author of international literary sensation The Boat, takes the reader on a thrilling intellectual ride in this sharp, bold essay. Its ambitious scope encompasses identity politics, metaphysics, the relationship between life and art, and the complexities of the 'Australianness' of Malouf's work. Revealing much about his own experiences, Le makes a passionate case for the 'personal, artistic sovereignty' of all writers. This book is an enthralling meeting of minds and a must-read for lovers of literature. ...Show more

$17.99 AUD

Category: Art & Design | Series: Writers on Writers

'Patrick White, the un-Australian writer who did more than any other writer in the twentieth century to create an imaginative language that we can call Australian, who unshackled us from the demand that we write as the English do, who recognised, through his own alienation and also through his profound love for his partner, that we were a migrant and mongrel nation forging our own culture and our own language.'   Christos Tsiolkas spent a year of 'discovery and rediscovery' reading Patrick White. In this passionate and original book, he shows how the Nobel Prize winner's work still speaks to us.   In the Writers on Writers series, leading writers reflect on another Australian writer who has inspired and fascinated them.
