I’m James Bradley, novelist and writer. I’ve published three novels, Wrack, The Deep Field and the international bestseller The Resurrectionist, all of which have been widely translated and won or been shortlisted for major literary awards, and a book of poetry, Paper Nautilus. I’ve also edited two anthologies: Blur, a collection of stories by young Australian writers and The Penguin Book of the Ocean. I’m currently working on two new novels, the first of which, Black Friday, will be published in 2012 (if you’re interested there’s some info on it here).
As well as writing fiction and poetry, I write and review for a wide variety of Australian and international publications. Publications in which my work has appeared include The Times Literary Supplement, The Guardian, The Australian Literary Review, Australian Book Review, The Monthly, The New York Review of Science Fiction, Griffith Review, Meanjin, Heat, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. Links to a selection of my reviews and articles are available on the Writing page of this site.
I live in Sydney, Australia, with my partner, the novelist Mardi McConnochie, and our daughters, Annabelle and Lila.
There’s a slightly cheesy publicity shot of me glowering at the camera below.
