Reviews / Votes
This smorgasbord of fiction and essays is well worth diving into. * Irish Times * Masterly prose of eloquent plainness... This is a rich, generous compilation that enticingly refracts our perceptions of one of Australia's finest novelists. * Sydney Morning Herald * This collection features some of Alex Miller's best work from the past 40 years. Seamlessly melding fiction and nonfiction to form a narrative on truth, family and the creative process, The Simplest Words gives intimate insight into the life of this admired writer. * Canberra Weekly * Told in sinewy, taciturn prose, Coal Creek is a brilliantly realised character piece. * The Herald (Scotland) on Coal Creek * Miller's novel is in many respects his best yet, a compelling tale of important ideas and influential relationships, an examination of a period in art and of characters who command empathy even when acting badly. * The Times Literary Supplement on Autumn Laing * Miller reveals most clearly the delicacy of his understanding of human nature...[a] tactful and intelligent writer. * The Guardian on Lovesong * Coal Creek is a triumph. -- Tim Winton on Coal Creek A wonderful novel of stunning intricacy and great beauty. -- Michael Ondaatje on The Ancestor GameMore details
