Author from Australia brought in beer and fruit on the turn? (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

emile zola

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'author' is the definition.
(Emile Zola is an example)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for emile zola that I've seen before include "Wrote J'Accuse in defence of Alfred Dreyfus" , "novelist" , ""Nana" author" , "French author" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
