In 1998 he was awarded the prestigious Australian Literature Society’s Gold Medal for his novel, A Mapmaker’s Dream. His work has been translated into seventeen languages.

Cowan undertool a ten-year study of the Aboriginal culture which led him to work, study and finally live among Aborigines in the Center, the Far North and the Kimberly region of Australia.
