New book by celebrated Aboriginal author Alexis Wright, author of Carpentaria and The Swan Book.

A collective memoir of one of Aboriginal Australia’s most charismatic leaders and an epic portrait of a period in the life of a country, reminiscent in its scale and intimacy of the work of Nobel Prize-winning Russian author Svetlana Alexievich.

Miles Franklin Award-winning novelist Alexis Wright returns to
non-fiction in her new book, Tracker
Tilmouth, a collective memoir of the charismatic Aboriginal leader,
political thinker, and entrepreneur who died in Darwin in 2015. Taken from his
family as a child and brought up in a mission on Croker Island, Tracker
Tilmouth returned home to transform the world of Aboriginal politics. He worked
tirelessly for Aboriginal self-determination, creating opportunities for land
use and economic development in his many roles, including Director of the
Central Land Council. He was a visionary and a projector of ideas, renowned for
his irreverent humour and his anecdotes. His memoir has been composed by Wright from
interviews with Tilmouth himself, as well as with his family, friends, and colleagues,
weaving his and their stories together into a book that is as much a tribute to
the role played by storytelling in contemporary Aboriginal life as it is to the
legacy of a remarkable man.
