Nanushka - Nan Witcomb
Author
Nan Witcomb was born in Adelaide, South Australia. She is an Australian writer with an uncanny ability to touch the inner core of everyday people. She writes about feelings. Particularly love in its many forms. From joyful moments to sad ones, Nan captures for people, in words, the feelings they are often unable to express for themselves.
Hundreds of thousands of Australians have reflected upon and been inspired by her volumes of The Thoughts of Nanushka – ageless, inspirational prose and love poems which are enjoyed by the young and the not so young, people from all walks of life since 1971. Nanushka’s thoughts are often used in the celebrations of life, from courting lovers to weddings and also funerals. To Mourn Too Long For Those We Love was chosen by Michael Hutchence’s brother for the singer’s funeral.
Nanushka’s words were published by Jane Curry Publishers in October 2005 in a refreshing new design and format in two volumes: Nanushka Love and Nanushka Peace and Friendship. These volumes are now available in all good book stores and selected gift stores.
Nan Witcomb has written other books too. In My Day is a nostalgic and amusing look at us before TV was beamed into our living rooms. It has recently sold out of its fourth print run. Up here and Down There is a reminiscence of Nan’s days as an air hostess at the peak of Ansett’s glory when flying wasn’t just a bus in the air.
Nan has also written three plays for the stage, many revue scripts, including that iconic Australian television show which for many has never been equaled let alone surpassed – The Mavis Bramston Show. She’s been a popular guest on countless television shows from Ray Martin to most recently the ABC TV’s The Way We Were. Nan has also hosted her own radio programs in Adelaide where she lives and continues to be a regular on ABC Radio.
In an increasingly troubled world where people are exposed to violence and tragedy as everyday occurrences, Nan Witcomb’s words provide solace and a refuge. Never has the world needed them more.
