Gerald Murnane: Another World in This One by Anthony Uhlmann

Gerald Murnane is one of Australia's most important contemporary authors, but for years was neglected by critics. In 2018 the New York Times described him as the greatest living English-language writer most people have never heard of and tipped him as a future Nobel Prize winner.Gerald Murnane: Another World in This One coincides with a renewed interest in his work.

Gerald Murnane Reviews

'So in an interesting way, this is a book directly in touch with its subject-it includes new contributions from the author himself, his publisher and editor Ivor Indyk, and his authorised critical biographer Shannon Burns ... Another World in This One offers a praiseworthy series of attentive and careful engagements with the intricacies of Murnane's fictions. Much of his oeuvre is intelligently analysed, and particular critical attention is deservedly reserved for the four works of fiction he has published since 2009.' -- Joseph Steinberg -- Journal of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature
