Congratulations to Jillian Graham, shortlisted candidate for the 2024 National Biography Award! Jillian’s book Inner Song: A Biography of Margaret Sutherland (MUP, 2023, recently shortlisted for the Magarey Medal for Biography) has been praised for its ‘meticulous record’ of the subject’s life and work, and its determination to bring ‘wider recognition’ to this ‘pioneering modernist composer’. Recent AHA member Ryan Cropp was also shortlisted for Donald Horne: A Life in the Lucky Country (La Trobe University Press, 2023). The winners of the prize will be announced later this month. Congratulations and good luck, Jillian and Ryan!
