Frank Moorhouse (born 21 December 1938 in Nowra, New South Wales) is an Australian writer of short stories, screenplays and novels. During the 1960s, Moorhouse was associated with the Sydney Push — a progressive group of artists, writers and intellectuals. He was also a member of the WEA Film Study Group with such notable people as John Flaus, Michael Thornhill and Ken Quinnell. After some time working for rural NSW newspapers, Moorhouse moved to the bohemian inner-Sydney suburb of Balmain, which was to become a central setting of much of his work. He announced at Sydney's Customs House Library in late 2006 that he is working on the third volume of his League of Nations series. less
