Overview

His novels and short stories have been widely translated, won many national and international prizes and been adapted for film, television, radio and theatre. Winner of the 2000 WA Premier's non-fiction book award. The Shark Net, a vibrant and haunting memoir that reaches beyond the dark recesses of murder and chaos to encompass their ordinary suburban backdrop. In Robert Drewes hands, a whole time and region come to vivid life. Extraordinarily moving, surprisingly humorous and beautifully observed, The Shark Net shows one of Australias most acclaimed writers charting new and exciting territory. In this magnificent and haunting memoir of murder, sharks and rubber goods, Robert Drewe proves himself too subtle and too adventurous a writer to settle for the truth, plain and simple. He creates instead a resurrection of his boyhood in Australia which is as ornamented, engaging and ambitious as any great novel. Jim Crace.
