Frank Hardy

Frank Hardy (1917–1994) was a journalist, playwright, scriptwriter and award-winning novelist. His works include the bestselling Power Without Glory (1950), the powerful The Unlucky Australians (1968 – also in the Untapped Collection), and the internationally acclaimed But the Dead Are Many: A Novel in Fugue Form (1975). He was described by Jack Waterford in The Canberra Times as ‘a socialist with a streak of the larrikin, a supporter of the underdog and one of Australia’s best yarners and story-tellers’.
