In the mid-seventies he returned to Australia and for several years he taught English to immigrants and prisoners in Sydney and wrote for ephemeral radical papers. In 1978 he set off for South America but stopped in Naples instead.

He has taught at the University of Melbourne, the University of Oulu in Finland, the Instituto Universitario Orientale in Naples and is currently the first CAL Non-Fiction Writer- in- Residence at UTS.

It also caused controversy for its frank depiction of Australia's past. In 2008, <em>The Lieutenant</em> continued Grenville's exploration of first contact between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia - in sunlight rather than shadow. In 2011, Kate Grenville completed her 'Colonial Trilogy' with <em>Sarah Thornhill</em> exploring those who have to deal with what the past has created.</p> <p><strong>DATE</strong>: Wednesday, 5 September 2012 <br /><strong>TIME</strong>:  5.45 for a 6pm start, concluding at 7pm <br /><strong>VENUE</strong>: Lecture Room 4.g, Level 4<br />            City Campus Library<br /><strong>RSVP</strong>: Emma - <a href="mailto:atsievents@uts.edu.au">atsievents@uts.edu.au</a></p> <p>Kate's books will be available for sale at the talk and Kate will be signing copies.</p> <p>This is a free event.<br />All are welcome. <br />Refreshments will be served</p> </div> </div> <div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-hidden clearfix"> <ul class="field-items"> <li class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"> <a href="/tag/indigenous-literacy-day" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">indigenous literacy day</a> </li> <li class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"> <a href="/tag/author-talk" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">author talk</a> </li> </ul> </div> Fri, 31 Aug 2012 21:33:01 +0000 Georgia 22515 at http://www.lib.uts.edu.au
