    Reading Like an Australian Writer
    The best books are those you revisit over the years ... and with each visit you learn new things about yourself and about the story.' - Mykaela Saunders on Carpentaria by Alexis Wright<br/><br/>All writers begin as readers.<br/><br/>This is an ode, a love letter, to the magic of reading. To the spark that's set off when the reader thinks ... I can do this too. Here, twenty-six writers take us through these moments of revelation through the dog-eared pages of their favourite Australian books. Among them, poet Ellen van Neerven finds kin on the page with Miles Franklin-winner Tara June Winch. AS Patric finds a dark mirror for our times in David Malouf's retelling of an episode from the Iliad. Ashley Hay pens letters of appreciation and friendship to Charlotte Wood.<br/><br/>These and many more writers come together to draw knowledge from the distinctive personal and sensory stories of this country: its thefts and losses, and its imagined futures. Australian fiction shows us what it is possible to say and, perhaps, what still needs to be said.<br/><br/>Reading Like an Australian Writer is a delightful, inspirational and heartfelt collection of essays that will enrich your reading of Australian stories and guide you in your own writing.
