Frank Moorhouse obituary: From local views to big news (The Sydney Morning Herald)

These questions find their fullest expression in the character who drives the narrative in Moorhouse's League of Nations trilogy of novels, Edith Campbell Berry ...

In 1973, lawyers Peter Banki and David Catterns approached Moorhouse to ask him to participate in a lawsuit against the University of NSW on the basis that a photocopier had been used to copy a book of his in full. He leaves a hole not only in their hearts, but in the literary life of our nation. “He was a loyal and generous friend and one of the funniest human beings I have ever known. Working with him on those momentous League of Nations novels Grand Days and Dark Palace and his quirky and intoxicating Martini: A Memoir were huge life highlights for me”. He also had a very wide circle of friends and loved to dine out with them. Moorhouse used the grant to travel to Geneva and locate himself in the League of Nations archives. At the beginning of the 1970s, Moorhouse decided to leave journalism to become a full-time fiction writer. Moorhouse was equally involved in activism for a wide variety of social justice initiatives along with Wendy Bacon, Sandra Levy, Liz Fell and many others he fought Australia’s puritanical and irrational censorship laws. Moorhouse was fascinated by the breadth and audacity of the League’s remit. Moorhouse is interested in what props up the boundaries of our identities, of how fluid they are, and whether it is ever possible to “escape” our origins. The League was founded after the First World War with the grand ambition of securing global peace and making rules to civilise and unite all nations. He was fascinated by the rituals and rules for living well that the martini symbolised.
