Biography: general |
| Bruce Grant was raised in outback Western Australia but has lived and worked at or near the centre of public life in Australia for several decades, as a film and theatre critic, foreign correspondent, public intellectual, academic, diplomat and government adviser, and is the author of ten works of non-fiction, six novels, essays and short stories. He was Australian High Commissioner to India (1973â 76), Consultant to the federal Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Gareth Evans, 1988â 91, a member of the councils of Monash and Deakin universities, chairman of the Australia-Indonesia Institute, Australian Dance Theatre, and the Victorian Premierâ s literary awards, and president of Melbourneâ s international film festival, and the Spoleto festival, which became Melbourneâ s international arts festival. Grant was an early advocate of the importance of Asia, to Australia. With Gareth Evans he wrote Australiaâ s Foreign Relations in the World of the 1990s (1991), and his Indonesia (first published in 1964) remains a classic. In Subtle Moments Grant shares stories of public life, and its private dimensions, with literary aplomb and surprising candour, and, more than this, fascinatingly illuminates how Australia has changed over time, and how it might still develop for the better. |
