CHRISTOPHER KREMMER is the author of four
books, numerous short stories and a
substantial body of journalism. Like few
writers over the past decade, he has explored
Asia's tumultuous journey from tradition
towards modernity.

His early short stories won several awards,
including the Patricia Rappolt Prize for young
writers in the prestigious Canberra Times
National Short Story Competition for 'The
Birthday Party'. Other short fiction, including
'Two Hundred Years from Home' and
'Footnotes to the Affair', was published in
Australian Short Stories.

After completing a Bachelor's degree in
Professional Writing at the University of
Canberra, Christopher worked in broadcast
and print media in Australia. During a period
spent in London he wrote comedy sketches
for the long-running Canal Cafe Theatre
company, and some of his work was
performed at the Edinburgh Arts Festival.


His work during a decade spent as a foreign
correspondent in Asia—first for the Australian
Broadcasting Corporation, and later for The
Sydney Morning Herald—earned him an
international profile as an intelligent and
sensitive observer of the region.


Today, Christopher is a research scholar with
the Writing and Society Group at the
University of Western Sydney, He teaches
literary non-fiction writing at workshops in
Australia and abroad.

Portrait by Lai Morris
'Just wanted to say how much I value your writing. Your story is a source of
wonder to others, it awakens fellow feelings in people who love that human
connection. You make people laugh and you wake us up. Your writing gives form
to the things that happen and you help us make sense of this chaotic world. I
love your perspective and your wisdom. Never stop.'                  -- from a Reader
