Jane Rawson’s latest novel is A History of Dreams. She is also the author of From the wreck, A wrong turn at the Office of Unmade Lists, a novella, Formaldehyde, and the non-fiction book The Handbook: surviving & living with climate change
I grew up in Canberra and then spent quite a few years dawdling around the streets of San Francisco, Prague and Phnom Penh. These days I live in Tasmania’s Huon Valley. Formerly editor of the environment and energy section of The Conversation, an independent news website, I now work for a Tasmanian conservation organisation. I like cats, quiet, minimal capitalisation, and finding out that everything is going to be OK.
This site includes more information about my books, as well as a now-defunct blog that was mostly about reading and writing – if you still want to hear my thoughts on these and other things, subscribe to my newsletter earth’s ends. For my olden-days jokes about travel, please see Ointment for Itchy Feet.
