Win a Frank Moorhouse book pack
Frank Moorhouse was legendary in Australian literary and cultural life. The author of a wonderful and diverse body of work – essays, short stories, journalism, scripts, the iconic Edith Trilogy – he was an unapologetic activist and champion of freedom speech. Though he lived his life publicly, his private stories have not been shared, until the publication of Frank Moorhouse: Strange Paths by Matthew Lamb, the first in a projected two-volume biography of the Australian author.
Lamb has argued, in an essay reflecting on the project, that ‘the main purpose for any literary biography is, first and foremost, to encourage readers to go back and read the subject’s work for themselves. A biography is not a substitute for – but a supplement to – an author’s books.’
For this reason, and to celebrate the publication of this biography, we are giving away a set of the first six Frank Moorhouse books, valued at $120.00.
This includes Futility and Other Animals (1969), The Americans, Baby (1972), The Electrical Experience (1974), Conference-ville (1976), Tales of Mystery and Romance (1977), and The Everlasting Secret Family (1980).
