Books by Peter Carey

Peter Carey is an Australian novelist born in 1943 in Bacchus Marsh, Victoria. He is one of only four writers to have won the Booker Prize twice, for Oscar and Lucinda (1988) and True History of the Kelly Gang (2001). His other major novels include Illywhacker (1985), Jack Maggs (1997), and Amnesia (2014). Carey lived in New York for many years and has become something of an expatriate examining Australian history from a distance. He is known for his formal range and his willingness to inhabit historical voices from the inside out.
