At the end of the course, and before the publication of Below Corballis won the Adam Award for his first novel Measurement.

Corballis describes his work in Below and in more recent projects as “a sort of landscape writing which moves beyond issues of national identity and into issues of personal identity.”

His novel Measurement was published in 2002. This work has been described as “a moving meditation on the intricate relationship between life and memory.”
