Steve Toltz (born in 1972 in Sydney) is an Australian novelist.
==Works==
''A Fraction of the Whole'', his first novel, was released in 2008 to widespread critical acclaim. It is a comic novel which tells the history of a family of Australian outcasts. The narration of the novel alternates between Jasper Dean, a philosophical, idealistic boy, who grows up throughout the novel and his father, Martin Dean, a philosopher and shut-in described at the start of the novel as "the most hated man in all of Australia". This is in contrast with Terry Dean, Jasper's uncle, whom Jasper describes as "the most beloved man in all of Australia". The novel spans the entirety of Martin's life and several years after (a range never specified in the text, but starting after World War II and ending in the early 2000s), and is set in Australia, Paris, and Thailand.
The novel has repeatedly been compared favourably to John Kennedy Toole's Pulitzer Prize winning novel ''A Confederacy of Dunces''.〔( The Wall Street Journal review )〕〔( Ottawa Citizen review )〕 ''A Fraction of the Whole'' was shortlisted for the 2008 Man Booker Prize〔http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7606147.stm〕 and the 2008 Guardian First Book Award.〔(The Man Booker Prize Longlist )〕
His second novel, ''Quicksand'', was published in 2015,〔http://www.penguin.com.au/content/19282513/new-novel-steve-toltz-be-published-2015〕 to widespread acclaim.
