THE PLAINS
There is no book in Australian literature like THE PLAINS. In the two decades since its first publication, this haunting novel has earned its status as a classic. A nameless young man arrives on the plains and begins to document the strange and rich culture of the plains families. As his story unfolds, the novel becomes, in the words of Murray Bail, "a mirage of landscape, memory, love and literature itself".
In 1957 Gerald Murnane began training for the Catholic priesthood but soon abandoned this in favour of becoming a primary-school teacher. In 1969 he graduated in arts from Melbourne University. He worked in education for a number of years and later became a teacher of creative writing. His first novel, Tamarisk Row, was published in 1974, and was followed by eight other works of fiction. He has also published a collection of essays, Invisible Yet Enduring Lilacs (2005). In 1999 Gerald Murnane won the Patrick White Award. In 2009 he won the Melbourne Prize for Literature.
