Thea Astley AO (1925 2004) was an Australian novelist and short story writer. At the time of her death, she had won more Miles Franklin Awards, Australia's major literary award, than any other writer. Astley has a significant place in Australian letters as she was "the only woman novelist of her generation to have won early success and published consistently throughout the 1960s and 1970s, when the literary world was heavily male-dominated". Her work can be appreciated by everyone with an interest in well-written, insightful literature. Most of her works are set in Queensland, Australia. Thea won four Miles Franklin Literary Awards during her career. They were well deserved. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 185 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 57488
