Alex Miller is the author of twelve novels. He has twice won the prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award, Australia's premier literary prize; the first occasion in 1993 for The Ancestor Game, and again in 2003 for Journey to the Stone Country. He is also an overall winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize, for The Ancestor Game, in 1993. British by birth, he now lives in Victoria.
A rich addition to the growing shelf of autofiction from a seasoned
storyteller.
*Kirkus Reviews*
Miller is a treasure from the land Down Under...Why we haven't been
reading him for years, I honestly can't imagine.
*Irish Times*
Miller reveals most clearly the delicacy of his understanding of
human nature...a tactful and intelligent writer.
*The Guardian*
Told in sinewy, taciturn prose, Coal Creek is a brilliantly
realised character piece.
*Glasgow Herald*
Alex Miller's Coal Creek is a triumph. If ever there were an
example of a novelist simultaneously commanding yet somehow at the
mercy of a character's voice, this is it.
*Tim Winton*
