Présentation de l'éditeur
*Longlisted for the Stella Prize for Australian Women's Writing*
Helen Garner is one of Australia's most important and admired living writers. That admiration is inspired by a sense that she is honest, authentic and fearless in the pursuit of her craft. But Garner also courts controversy, not least because she refuses to be constrained by the rules of literary form. She appears to write so much of herself into her nonfiction, and many of her own experiences inform her fiction. Garner's life and writing inform and shape each other to such a degree that it is not possible to understand one without the other.
Revue de presse
"Bernadette Brennan's ingenious A Writing Life: Helen Garner and Her Work, which gets around the subject's resistance to biography by viewing her life through her writing, as Garner herself does." --Australian Book Review
"You might also include academic Bernadette Brennan's superb literary portrait of Garner, A Writing Life: Helen Garner and Her Work, which combines a close analysis of Garner's work with illuminating insights into her life. Garner gave Brennan unprecedented access to her archives and spent long hours in conversation with her. It shows." --Sydney Morning Herald
