Publisher Description
Alex Miller: The Ruin of Time is the first sole-authored survey of the critically acclaimed
Australian writer’s eleven novels. While Miller’s novels are immediately accessible to the
general reading public, they are manifestly works of high literary seriousness – substantial,
technically masterful and assured, intricately interconnected, and of great imaginative,
intellectual and ethical weight. Among his many prizes and awards, Alex Miller has twice
won the Miles Franklin Literary Award, for The Ancestor Game in 1993, and Journey to the
Stone Country in 2003; the Commonwealth Writers’ prize, also for The Ancestor Game in
1993; and the New South Wales Premier’s Literary Awards Christina Stead Prize, for
Conditions of Faith in 2001 and Lovesong in 2011. He received a Centenary Medal in 2001
and the Melbourne Prize for Literature in 2012. In 2011 he was elected a Fellow of the
Australian Academy of the Humanities. Having published his eleventh novel, Coal Creek, in
2013 – which won the Victorian Premier’s Fiction Award in 2014 – Miller is currently writing
an autobiographical memoir with the working title, Horizon.
