Robbie Arnott (born 1989) is an Australian author known for his novels, Flames, The Rain Heron and Limberlost, all of which were nominated for prestigious Australian literary awards.[1]
Career
Arnott's early writing appeared in literary publications Island, Kill Your Darlings and The Lifted Brow. In 2014, Arnott was awarded the Scribe Nonfiction Prize for Young Writers, and in 2015 won the Tasmanian Young Writer's Fellowship.[2]
Flames, Arnott's first novel, was released by Text Publishing in Australia in 2018. The novel was longlisted for the Miles Franklin literary award in 2019[3] and was nominated for the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for fiction. Following the release of Flames, Arnott was named a Sydney Morning Herald Best Young Novelist, a title awarded to select Australian authors under the age of 35 at the time their work was published.[4] Flames has been included as a text in Australian VCE (Victorian) school curriculum.[5]
The Rain Heron, Arnott's second novel, was released in 2020, and won the AGE book of the year award as well as being shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award.[6] Critics noted the novel continued Arnott's style of 'risk-taking' and 'daring' literary fiction, with a positive reception to its environmental messages.[7][8]
The third novel from Arnott, Limberlost, was released in 2022. It became Arnott's second novel to win the AGE book of the year award. Like Arnott's previous novels, Limberlost found critical success both in Australia and internationally, with positive reviews from noted critics and newspapers.[9][10][11]
