One of the best Australian novelists you never heard of. I used to be a Professor of Linguistics until I started writing fiction. I’m at www.stuartcampbellauthor.com
Good to see my creative nonfiction piece published here. Entitled 'I Thought I Knew Something About This Place', it deals with my family connections to Belfast.

In my writing critique group it was always ‘cut, cut, cut’. Rereading Crime and Punishment - good thing Dostoyevsky wasn’t in a group like that. Www.stuartcampbellauthor.com

These twelve stories, set mostly in Australia and Britain, lead the reader through irony, black comedy and the weirdly unexpected towards truths at the very heart of humanity.

Just reading a poem by Seamus Heaney and realised I’ve never used the word ‘gravely’ in my fiction writing.

So good to be on Bluesky and rediscover people I lost contact with after I abandoned a certain antisocial media site a year ago.
