The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival
congratulates Anna Funder on winning
this year’s Miles Franklin Award and keenly anticipates her participation as a
highlight of the forthcoming 2012 festival program. 
In a triumphant year for the
Australian-born author of All That I Am
and Stasiland, Anna Funder was also awarded
the Independent Bookseller’s Award for Best Debut Fiction, Indie Book of the
Year 2012, Australian Book Industry Awards' Book of the Year and Literary
Fiction Book of the Year and the Barbara Jefferis Award 2012.
‘All
That I Am remains one of the most intensely memorable, disturbing and
rewarding books I read in 2011. I was moved by both the story and the skill
the Miles Franklin judges chose this book and
we are honoured and delighted that Anna Funder has consented to participate in
our program. This is a book that not only reflects history but speaks of
its relevance to our world today. Our audiences will flock to Anna's
conversations and panel sessions’ said Janet de Neefe - Festival Founder
and Director.

award-winning author and more than one hundred writers and thinkers from across
