Black Mirror (2002) is a novel by Australian author Gail Jones.[1] It won the Fiction category of the Western Australian Premier's Book Awards in 2002 and the Nita Kibble Literary Award in 2003.
A biographer, Anna Griffin, is interviewing Victoria Morrell about her childhood in a gold-mining town in Western Australia and her subsequent flight to Paris in the 1930s, as a young artist. There Victoria found herself caught up in a surrealist circle of painters and writers (André Breton, Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, even Salvador Dalí). As the interview progresses Anna comes to examine her own childhood in the same town some 60 years later.
