“As I was born the umbilical cord tangled around my neck and I came into the world both arms flailing, unable to scream and thereby take in the air necessary to begin life outside of the womb, being garrotted by the very thing that had until that time succoured me and given me life.”
Born in Tasmania in 1961, Richard Flanagan is one of Australia’s leading novelists. His novels, *Death of a River Guide, The Sound of One Hand Clapping, Gould's Book of Fish* (winner of the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize), *The Unknown Terrorist* and *Wanting* have received numerous honours and been published in 26 countries. His father, who died the day Flanagan finished *The Narrow Road to the Deep North,* was a survivor of the Burma Death Railway.
