Kenneth Cook (1929-1987) - An Appreciation

John S Ryan

Research output: Contribution to journal › Letter

Abstract

Kenneth Cook died on Easter Saturday 1987, on a writing field trip near Narromine, when a few weeks short of his fifty-eighth birthday. By that time he had completed seventeen novels, several books on creative writing, two plays, various humorous works and illustrated moral fables, perhaps 400 short films and innumerable interviews and discussions of his books. Paradoxically, the literary establishment has still to decide his place in Australian letters.
