This collection of short stories, memoir, journal entries, essays and poems spans decades of Alex Miller's life. Opening with a moving depiction of Miller's father leaving for war, it closes with a 2023 poem reflecting on solitude and creative labour.
Each piece responds to significant life events, engaging with works by prominent Australian artists and authors -including Janine Burke, Jacob Rosenberg, Sidney Nolan and Emily Kame Kngwarreye - who enriched Australia's cultural landscape.
Journey to the End of Time forms a companion to The Simplest Words and A Kind of Confession - three volumes constructing an intimate narrative of Miller's life writing works of quiet power and beauty. His wisdom and experience shine in this rewarding anthology.
A fascinating, moving account of the cost of commitment to writing, of the process, the disappointments, the sheer slog of it, the rejections, and the human buttresses who held Miller firm at his desk. -- Morag Fraser * Sydney Morning Herald on A KIND OF CONFESSION *
This book radiates the compressed skill of Miller's long and successful career. It's a tale about love, beauty and belonging. -- Christine Kearney * Canberra Times on A KIND OF CONFESSION *
