His most recent book, 'The Fighter', set in contemporary and post-war Melbourne, was published in 2016. LifeZable was born on 10 January 1947 in Wellington, New Zealand to Polish-Jewish refugee parents.[1] They moved early in his life to Australia and he grew up in Carlton, Victoria. Themes and styleZable is known as a storyteller - through his memoirs, short stories and novels. Australian critic Susan Varga says that Zable's award-winning memoir, Jewels and Ashes, "was a ground-breaking book in Australia, one of the first of what has since become a distinct auto/biographical genre: a second-generation writer returns to the scene of unspeakable crimes to try to understand a fraught and complex legacy, and, in so doing, embarks on a journey into the self."[2] In an interview Zable explained that the rights and experiences of refugees and asylum seekers underpins his work: The current generation of refugees are experiencing the intense challenges faced by previous generations. We tend to forget, or fail to imagine, how difficult it is to start life anew far from the homeland. We forget also that nostalgia, the longing for the return to homeland, is a deep and enduring aspect of the refugee experience.[3] In the same interview he said about his language that "I am drawn to the quirky sayings and observations that define a person or a culture".[3] Awards and nominations
