Über den Autor

Christina Stead (1902-1983) was an Australian writer regarded as one of the twentieth century's master novelists. Stead spent most of her writing life in Europe and the United States, and her varied residences acted as the settings for a number of her novels. She is best known for The Man Who Loved Children (1940), which was praised by author Jonathan Franzen as a crazy, gorgeous family novel and one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century. Stead died in her native Australia in 1983.
