From her fiction Monkey Grip, The Children's Bach and The Spare Room, to her non-fiction, The First Stone, This House of Grief and The Mushroom Tapes, Helen Garner has indelibly shaped Australian literature for 50 years and emerged as one of our age's greatest writers. But it is her diaries Garner regards as her favourite. Her collected diaries, How to End a Story became in late 2025 the first diaries ever to win the Baillie Gifford Prize.
