Christopher Koch

Christopher Koch was born and educated in Tasmania. For a good deal of his life he was a broadcasting producer, working for the ABC in Sydney. He has lived and worked in London and elsewhere overseas. He has been a full-time writer since 1972, winning international praise and a number of awards for his six previous novels, many of which are translated in a number of European countries. One of his novels, The Year of Living Dangerously, was made into a film by Peter Weir. The screenplay, co-written by Koch, Weir and David Williamson, was nominated for an Academy Award. Koch has twice won the Miles Franklin Award for fiction: for The Doubleman and Highways to a War. His latest novel is The Memory Room. In 1995 Koch was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for his contribution to Australian literature. In 2008, Koch was honoured with an Australia Council for the Arts’ Writers’ Emeritus Award.
