David Hunt is an unusually tall and handsome man who likes writing his own biographical notes.
His debut book, Girt: The Unauthorised History of Australia, won the 2014 Indie Award for Non-Fiction and was shortlisted for lots of other literary prizes awarded by less discerning judges.
The sequel, True Girt: The Unauthorised History of Australia Volume 2, continued David’s career as Australia’s most successful writer whose titles all include the word girt and whose book covers gratuitously depict Australian historical figures being crapped on by native birds. True Girt was shortlisted for Audiobook of the Year at the 2017 Australian Book Industry Awards and for the 2017 Russell Prize for Humour Writing.
Girt Nation, the third volume of The Unauthorised History of Australia, hit the shelves in November 2021.
