Peter Carey: The Making of a Global Novelist is a comprehensive account of Peter Carey's literary journey, spanning from his early contributions to Australian literary magazines to his exclusive publication with large conglomerate publishers. As one of Australia's most celebrated authors for nearly half a century, Carey's career provides unparalleled insights into the global contemporary publishing landscape and the establishment of global literary prestige from the periphery. Moreover, his work has gained significant cultural currency for Australian literature and culture worldwide.

Carey's fiction is not merely a reflection of the global dynamics in literary publishing during the last quarter of the 20th century but also carries within it a productive tension for Australian writing and writers. Allahyari explores the intricate process of reconciling an individual literary inclination with the growing commercial cultural appetite: the convergence of Carey's career with the consolidation of global publishing has pushed towards anti-elitist, popular aesthetics.

This book offers a rich and detailed exploration of Peter Carey's literary career, shedding light on his contributions to Australian literature and his impact on the global literary scene. It is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of contemporary literature and the role of individual authors in shaping cultural narratives.
