Australian voicesFans of Australian literature would certainly be grateful for the new biography of Elizabeth Jolley Doing Life (UWA Press, October), by her close friend and colleague Brian Dibble.Published 8 October, 2008 
Fans of Australian literature would certainly be grateful for the new biography of Elizabeth Jolley Doing Life (UWA Press, October), by her close friend and colleague Brian Dibble. The ‘lyrical’ biography, as described by the publisher, looks back not only at the array of wild characters in her fiction, but also those in her life, and of the publishing climate that allowed a woman in her 50s to exert a new voice, honed by experiences in England, Scotland and Australia. Peter Luck’s stunning photographs accompany one of Australia’s most famous poems in Dorothea Mackellar’s My Country: A Centenary Celebration 1908-2008 (Pier 9, October). This beautiful giftbook is an homage to the poet, her iconic words, and her country.
