Synopsis

Did you know that Peter Goldsworthy is also a doctor; that Brian Matthews simultaneously worries about the irrigation and tomorrow's lecture on Gissing; and that if you are moving house in Melbourne it may well be John Forbes who is heaving those cartons of books? Look at the biographical note on a novel or collection of poems and there's every chance that it will identify the author with a particular profession, or in the case of many, with a startling range of occupations that may have little or no connection with the world of literature -- testimony to the financially precarious road a writer must otherwise travel. In either the postman who daily delivers the mail or the smartly-dressed real estate agent may lurk the inquisitive poet or novelist. How do the writers who don't earn a living out of writing earn a living? Andrew Sant has asked twelve Australian writers to explain how financial matters have influenced their writing lives. Those who have contributed to this fascinating collection of essays include Marion Halligan, Peter Goldsworthy, Gwen Harwood, Elizabeth Jolley, Rob Drewe and Brian Matthews.
