Paperback. Winner of the Stella PrizeWinner of the Magarey Medal for BiographyWinner of the Queensland Literary AwardLonglisted for the Women's Prize for Non-Fiction 2025A larger-than-life champion of Aboriginal self-determination, Tracker Tilmouth was whip-smart, irreverent, startling, and deadly serious, famous for rattling the chains of Australian political life wherever he went. One day he asked a novelist-friend for help with his memoirs. Wright agreed, though she knew it would take a whole community to do his life justice. Thousands of interview hours later, the result was Tracker: a groundbreaking piece of creative oral history, a testament to the power of storytelling in contemporary Aboriginal life, and a living monument to a legendary warrior of conscience.A magnificent work of collaborative storytelling. The Age (Australia) Tracker is a collective memoir of the Aboriginal leader Tracker Tilmouth. He was a visionary who with irreverent humour told it like it is. Having known him for many years, Alexis Wright interviewed Tracker and those around him, weaving their stories together in a manner reminiscent of the oral history writing of Svetlana Alexievich.
