Matthew Kneale Biography

Matthew Kneale is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on November 24, 1960 in London, England, United Kingdom.

This land has suffered a terrible loss of aboriginal culture under the British colonial rule. More than 20 voices are used to tell the story. It was nominated for the Whitbread Book of the Year Award 2000 and was also a finalist in the Booker Prize 2000 and the Australian Miles Franklin Award. The book was translated into French and won the Relay Prix d’Evasion in France. Kneale stated that J. G. Farrell was a writer he admired when he interviewed him in 2001.
