Garth Nix Quotes About Books

Quotes about: Books

• I think I've actually benefited from Australia being a kind of combination of both British and American culture.

• I think there is a kind of laconic Australian leg-pulling sense of humor that is certainly in some of my stories, or is an element in some of my books, and that's probably a direct result of where I've grown up. But other than that I don't draw particularly on the Australian landscape or the Australian biology and so on. So I don't think there's anything you could point to and say is particularly Australian.
