Kate Grenville lives in Sydney with her husband, son and daughter. (from the sleevenotes of DARK PLACES) DARK PLACES was published in Australia in 1994. Dark Places Albion Gidley Singer inhabits the shell of an entirely proper man of the world: husband, father, pillar of the community. But within him are frightened and frightening dark places from which spring fear and loathing of the flesh of females. And finally, the kind of violence that might call itself love. It is through the eyes of Albion Gidley Singer that the world is seen and in his voice that the story is told, and it is a voice that never suffers from self doubt. He can never know, as the reader does, that what he sees is horribly wrong and what he thinks about the world around him is distorted by his damaged self.

The Australian National University invites you to meet Kate Grenville at a literary lunch to launch her new book The Idea of Perfection (Pan MacMillan) on Thursday, 28 October at 12.30pm The Common Room, University House (The Vote of Thanks will be given by Marion Halligan) Kate Grenville is one of Australia's most loved writers. She is the author of numerous works of fiction including the award-winning LILIAN'S STORY (also a film starring Ruth Cracknell) and DARK PLACES (1994) winner of the 1995 Victorian Premier's Award for Fiction and the Talking Book Award in 1996. Kate has worked as a film editor, journalist and teacher. The Idea of Perfection is a love story which explores the story of two outsiders in a fictional Australian country town. "The story is set firmly in the country. The novel could be seen as a latter day attempt to reinvigorate the importance of Australia's rural past ... Grenville brings sharp and fresh incites into living in the bush."

14. Kate Grenville Many creative writers have used historical material in their work. kate grenville reflects on her own use of such material and on issues which this has raised. How important is historical accuracy to the creative process? http://www.nla.gov.au/events/history/papers/Kate_Grenville .html

Back Kate Grenville The Novelist as Barbarian Many creative writers have used historical material in their work. Kate Grenville reflects on her own use of such material and on issues which this has raised. How important is historical accuracy to the creative process? When Jill Roe said of history "Getting it right means you can’t make it up", it was a reminder to novelists like me that, although we might use history, we also have to respect it. It’s all very well to play fast and loose with historical truths, but there comes a point when you have to get it right, or try to at least. As a novelist, my relationship to history has always been pretty much the same relationship the Goths had to Rome. ( Wait - was it Rome? Was it Goths?) History for a greedy novelist like me is just one more place to pillage. What we’re after, of course, is stories, and we know that history is bulging with beauties. Having found them, we then proceed to fiddle with them to make them the way we want them to be, rather than the way they really were. We get it wrong, willfully and knowingly. But perhaps you could say that the very flagrency of our "getting it wrong" points to the fact that all stories ­ even the history "story" ­ are made. They have an agenda, even if it’s an unconscious one. Perhaps there are many ways to get it right.
