There's something very warm and generous about those regional American writers like Twain and Lee and Capote, and it seemed to be a literary ilk that would lend itself well to the Australian condition."〔(Craig Silvey on writing ''Jasper Jones.'' )〕 Silvey is also the singer/songwriter for the indie/pop/rock band (''The Nancy Sikes!'' ). Perth Wildcats guard Adam Caporn plays guitar in Silvey's band. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Craig Silvey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
