Earlier this year, Curtin Adjunct Associate Professor Paul Genoni and co-author, UWA Associate Professor Tanya Dalziell, were named winners at the 2019 Prime Minister’s Literary Awards, where their work triumphed in the non-fiction category.

Their book, Half the Perfect World: Writers, Dreamers and Drifters on Hydra, 1955 – 1964, tells the story of the post-war international artist community that formed on the Greek island of Hydra. The community was established by the Australian literary couple, Charmian Clift and George Johnston, and most famously, it included renowned singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen and his partner Marianne Ihlen, as well as numerous other artists and writers.
