Sumner Locke Elliott Poradie kníh
Tento austrálsky autor sa preslávil svojimi románmi, ktoré často čerpali z jeho vlastného detstva a zážitkov v Austrálii pred druhou svetovou vojnou. Napriek rastúcemu okruhu čitateľov v Austrálii sa autor vo svojej rodnej krajine nikdy celkom necítil komfortne, čiastočne kvôli svojej homosexualite, ktorá ho v mladosti odlišovala. Jeho tvorba sa vyznačuje prenikavým pohľadom na osobné skúsenosti a spoločenské prostredie.

‘Oh, aren’t you lucky, PS.’ ‘Goodness, what a lucky boy.’ ‘What a treat!’ ‘Your Aunt Vanessa is coming.’ Vanessa was coming all the way from England back to Australia and she was coming on a piano boat. It’s the Great Depression. Six-year-old PS is an orphan. He lives in Sydney with his Aunt Lila. But all that is about to change. Now his Aunt Vanessa has decided to take proper care of him. Careful, He Might Hear You is one of the most extraordinary portraits of childhood in Australian fiction.
