JOY Burch has made the slightly startling announcement that Frank Bongiorono’s book “The Sex Lives of Australians: A History” has been named the ACT Book of the Year for 2014.
Frank Bongiorno is an associate professor of history at the Australian National University.
“I would like to congratulate Mr Bongiorno on his book, which was unanimously chosen by the judging panel as the Award winner out of a strong field,” Ms Burch said.
“The panel considered that The Sex Lives of Australians: A History was elegantly written with a strong narrative, offering readers an intelligent, accessible and balanced account of the changing attitudes and experiences of Australians since European settlement.”
