Auteur.rice / Author

Garth Nix est né en 1963 à Melbourne, en Australie, au son de la fanfare de l’Armée du Salut qui jouait “Hail the Conquering Hero Comes” ou peut-être “Roll Out the Barrel”. Garth a quitté Melbourne très jeune pour Canberra (la capitale fédérale) et y est resté jusqu’à l’âge de dix-neuf ans, date à laquelle il est parti parcourir le Royaume-Uni dans une Austin déglinguée avec un coffre rempli de livres et une machine à écrire Silver-Reed. Il est aujourd’hui un auteur primé et l’un des noms les plus influents du fantastique contemporain.

Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia, to the sound of the Salvation Army band outside playing ’Hail the Conquering Hero Comes’ or possibly ’Roll Out the Barrel’. Garth left Melbourne at an early age for Canberra (the federal capital) and stayed there till he was nineteen, when he left to drive around the UK in a beat-up Austin with a boot full of books and a Silver-Reed typewriter. He is now an award-winning author and one of the most influential names in contemporary fantasy.
