As a young man in 1961, Miller left his work as a ringer in Queensland and set out to achieve his dream of becoming a serious novelist. It was not until 1988 that his first novel, \u003ci\u003eWatching the Climbers on the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e, was published. Twelve more novels would follow, all bestsellers, many published internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis selection from his notebooks and letters makes it exhilaratingly evident that Miller has been devoted to finding and telling stories that are profound, substantial, and entertaining, stories that capture both intellect and emotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMiller's fascinating life is told in a personal, behind-the-scenes exploration of his struggle to become a published writer, his determination, his methods of creative thought, and the sources of his inspiration. His writing, sometimes in anger and despair, sometimes with humour and joy, whether created for publication or for private meditation, is alive with ideas, moral choices, commentary, encouragement, criticism, and love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075861627116,"sku":"9781761470769","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4008843482815.jpg?v=1765188066","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/a-kind-of-confession-by-alex-miller-9781761470769","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
