Mudrooroo Knihy
Tento autor skúma tému odcizenia a osamelosti v austrálskom živote s jedinečným zameraním na domorodú existenciu. Jeho skoré diela, ovplyvnené osobnou skúsenosťou s väznením a hľadaním zmyslu, sa ponorili do politických tém a vnútorných bojov postáv. Neskôr rozšíril svoj záber o špekulatívnu a young adult fikciu, čím obohatil literárnu krajinu. Jeho písanie sa vyznačuje hlbokým zamyslením nad identitou a príslušnosťou.
