About the Author
Thomas Keneally began his writing career in 1964 and has published thirty novels since. They include Schindler's Ark, which won the Booker Prize in 1982 and was subsequently made into the film Schindler's List, and The Chant Of Jimmie Blacksmith, Confederates and Gossip From The Forest, each of which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize. His most recent novels are The Daughters Of Mars, which was shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize in 2013, and Shame and the Captives. He has also written several works of non-fiction, including his memoir Homebush Boy, Searching for Schindler and Australians. He is married with two daughters and lives in Sydney.
From AudioFile
The author of SCHINDLER'S LIST here tells of an outrageous Aussie reporter for an American tabloid TV show. His picaresque adventures show him frequently getting hoist by his own petard, though sometimes triumphing audaciously. Narrator James Wright, like the author, is in no hurry to get to the point. He neatly handles the international cast of characters and reads intelligently throughout. Y.R. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
