The Fiction of Thea Astley by Susan Sheridan
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 1.2MB
Overview: Thea Astley (1925-2004) was one of the outstanding Australian fiction writers of the 20th century. Four of her novels, including her last, Drylands (1999), won the prestigious Miles Franklin prize, and she was awarded numerous literary and civic honors during her lifetime. The distinctive appeal of her work comes from its unique sense of place, in tropical Queensland and the South Pacific, and from the mordant irony of her gaze on Australian society and her fiercely compassionate portrayal of social outsiders. Place and people reflect one another as Astley deals in climatic extremes both geographical and emotional: living ‘on the edge of the cyclone’, her people face the threat of personal annihilation with the frail weapons of irony, satire or anarchic humor.
