2008 NSW Premier's Literary Awards

Congratulations to UNSW Press author Tom Griffiths who won the Douglas Stewart Prize for Non-Fiction at the NSW Premier's Literary Awards on Monday May 19, 2008.

Judges' comments:

"Tom Griffiths’ Slicing the Silence is a sustained meditation on wildness and landscape, on ice, ecology and story; it is a vivid history of human enterprise and folly at the farthest reaches of culture. It is an impeccably researched, deeply felt, and elegantly made work of literary nonfiction, the outstanding work among this year’s entries."

John Fitzgerald Big White Lie - Community Relations Commissions Award
Tom Griffiths Slicing the Silence - Douglas Stewart Prize for Non-Fiction
