Catherine McKinnon is a novelist, playwright and academic. Her novel Storyland (Harper Collins, 2017) was shortlisted for the 2018 Miles Franklin Literary Award, the 2018 Barbara Jefferis Award, and the 2018 Voss Literary Prize. She is one of the multi-authors of 100 Atmospheres: Studies in Scale and Wonder (Open Humanities Press, 2019). Her research investigates narrative voices, particularly first person narration, both fictional and non-fictional. What do the stories we tell reveal about ourselves and our culture? How do these stories influence others? More recently her work has examined the place of writing in a global climate-changed environment. Within this framework, she is currently exploring narratives around the first atomic test—Trinity (claimed as one of the significant moments that mark the beginning of the Anthropocene)—that took place in New Mexico, USA, and the dropping of the first atomic bombs in the Second World War, as understood by soldiers in the field. Catherine is Discipline Leader of English and Creative Writing at the University of Wollongong, and a co-convenor of the Centre for Critical Creative Practice (C3P).
