On Kate Jennings: Writers on Writers

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Weaving in his interviews with Jennings in New York, he shows how poetry, politics and family were transmuted into her first novel, Snake - a work of art that depicts rural Australia in a funny, cutting and unforgettable way. This is a biography of a book and the life that made it.

In the Writers on Writers series, leading authors reflect on an Australian writer who has inspired and fascinated them. Provocative and crisp, these books start a fresh conversation between past and present, shed new light on the craft of writing, and introduce some intriguing and talented authors and their work.
