1999 The vintner's luck / Elizabeth Knox.
1998 Live bodies / Maurice Gee.
And thus concludes my romp through the Montana Fiction winners of the last 10 years.
Checking these two against my previously list of Montana characteristics...
- authors surnames usually start with J or G (close:check)
- they like multiple narratives and multiple narrators (close:close)
- recurring themes are drugs (nope:nope); sex (check:check - but not the good kind); murder (check:nope); homosexuality (check check - with an angel no less!:nope); illness (check:check - bonus points for mental illness); detachment from regular society (close-ish (for a bit of the story): mmm, not so much)
