About
Associate Professor Sara Knox is a member of the Writing and Society Research Group. Her book Murder: a Tale of Modern American Life (Duke University Press, 1998) established her long standing interest in the representation of death and violence. Leavening such dour interests, she has a chapter forthcoming in a groundbreaking collection of essays on audiobook culture, Audiobooks, Literature and Sound Studies, and her most recent publication is an almost cheery study of the figure of the ghost in the work of Hilary Mantel (Australian Feminist Studies, 25 no. 65, 2010). Her novel, The Orphan Gunner (Giramondo, 2007), won the 2009 Asher Literary Prize and was short-listed for the Commonwealth Writer’s Prize and the Age Book of the Year.
