About the Book

A judge, novelist and arts adviser, Nicholas Hasluck's work includes acute appraisals of people he met or wrote about along the way. His recollections cast light on political controversies, as in Menzies Versus Evatt. The Whitlam Dismissal Revisited. The Referendum Puzzle. From Pericles to Trump. And also on the personal and at times surprising pursuits of various lawyers, artists and writers, such as Ian Callinan: A Voice for Law and Literature, or Anthony Powell's Mosaic, or Saving Dorothy Hewett. The author's ruminations about trends and personalities are always underpinned by a keen awareness of communal values: the way things were and the way they could be in times to come.

About the Author :
Nicholas Hasluck studied law in Perth, then Oxford, before serving as a judge of the Supreme Court of Western Australia. He also chaired the Literature Board, the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Twice short-listed for the Miles Franklin Prize, he has written 14 novels, including Dismissal and The Bellarmine Jug, winner of The Age Book of the Year Award. In essay collections such as Art in Law and Legal Limits, he explores the relationship between law and literature and the role of storytelling in advocacy. According to The Weekend Australian, he is one of only two living Australians who has succeeded as both a judge and a novelist.
