Sophie Cunningham is the author of two novels, Geography and Bird, and the non-fiction books, Melbourne and more recently Warning- The Story of Cyclone Tracy. She was also the editor of Meanjin and was, until recently, the chair of the Australian Council's literature board.
'Geography is a new map of the heart from an author equipped with the latest global positioning system.' Weekend Australian 'Geography is a story for anyone who has ever been kept on a string by a lover and yet was too comfortable in their desire to be able to cut themselves free. A tragic but beautiful story...' West Australian 'lean pacy prose and pitch-perfect dialogue.' -- Aviva Tuffield Sunday Age 'a first novel that is autobiographical, starkly erotic, full of some fine writing and a good read as well.' -- Jason Steger Sunday Age 'genuinely erotic...a compelling journey through an intriguing interior landscape.' Sunday Telegraph 'Cunningham controversially encapsulates some of the many ambivalent complexities faced by contemporary women as they attempt the risky negotiations of feminism and heterosexuality...Her writing courageously depicts the unsanitised contents of an often contradictory female pleasure which feminism sometimes fails to accommodate or refuses to admit. Yet, with its universally relatable themes of lust, love, longing and betrayal, Geography will be appreciated by male and female readers alike...brave and refreshing' Australian Book Review 'Cunningham's story mirrors our prosperous and narcissistic era, in which, by and large, we have the time and resources to map our subconscious.' Sydney Morning Herald
