Joan Lindsay was born in Melbourne in 1896. Originally trained as a visual artist, she turned to writing after her marriage to Sir Daryl Lindsay in 1922. Her first novel, Through Darkest Pondelayo (1936), was a parody of popular travel books. Her second, Time Without Clocks, wasn't published until nearly thirty years later; her most famous, Picnic at Hanging Rock, was released in 1967 and made into a film in 1975. She died in 1984.
'In the seemingly limitless pantheon of gone-girl literature, Picnic at Hanging Rock might take the prize for best setting...It's a proto-Virgin Suicides, dreamy and haunting, animated by a sense of slightly sickening erotic mystery.' * New Yorker * 'Deliciously horrific.' * Observer * 'Chilling...still sends a shiver down my spine.' * Sara Foster * 'Iconic and enigmatic.' * Readings Monthly *
