Richard Flanagan (born 1961) is an author, historian and film director from Tasmania, Australia. He was president of the Tasmania University Union and a Rhodes Scholar. Each of his novels has attracted major praise. His first, Death of a River Guide (1994), was short-listed for the Miles Franklin Award, as were his next two, The Sound of One Hand Clapping (1997) and Gould's Book of Fish (2001). His earlier, non-fiction titles include books about the Gordon River, student issues, and the story of conman John Friedrich.
Two of his novels are set on the West Coast of Tasmania; where he lived in the township of Rosebery as a child. Death of a River Guide relates to the Franklin River, Gould's Book of Fish to the Macquarie Harbour Penal Station, and The Sound of One Hand Clapping to the Hydro settlements in the Central Highlands of Tasmania.
Shortlisted for the 2014 Man Booker Prize
A novel of the cruelty of war, and tenuousness of life and the impossibility of love.
Richard Flanagan's story — of Dorrigo Evans, an Australian doctor haunted by a love affair with his uncle's wife — journeys from the caves of Tasmanian trappers in the early twentieth century to a crumbling pre-war beachside hotel, from a Thai jungle prison to a Japanese snow festival, from the Changi gallows to a chance meeting of lovers on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Taking its title from 17th-century haiku poet Basho's travel journal, The Narrow Road To The Deep North is about the impossibility of love. At its heart is one day in a Japanese slave labour camp in August 1943. As the day builds to its horrific climax, Dorrigo Evans battles and fails in his quest to save the lives of his fellow POWs, a man is killed for no reason, and a love story unfolds.

评分邂逅:2015年5月1日央图; 旅程:2015年5月1日-2015年5月26日; 地点:坡县、欧洲; Only after I turned over the last page did it suddenly strike me that it has been the best novel I have ever read for nearly two years. The beginning, or indeed the whole plot, was somewhat blatant: war, love, betrayal, prisoner, feeling guilty or the lack of it. But it was an entirely new experien
评分作者没有老马的功力,却试图在《霍乱》这种高地上立澳大利亚的国旗,只可谓勇气可嘉。
评分0724-0802 无论是文字还是书本人都堪称优美。即使对战争的残酷有所准备,看完之后也不免觉得压抑。倒因为不是因为战争描写。事实上关于POW的内容并不多,而那些人生的无奈与失落,贯穿着整本书的情绪。
评分2014年读到的最好的小说
