[Review] Indigenous Transnationalism : Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria
2020
single work
review
— Appears in: Journal of Postcolonial Writing , vol. 56 no. 5 2020; (p. 728-729)
— Review of Lynda Ng (ed.), Indigenous Transnationalism: Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria 2019 single work review'Lynda Ng, editor of Indigenous Transnationalim, describes Alexis Wright’s Carpentaria as a “worldly” novel. Anyone who has read Wright’s novel will be aware of its multi-layered, globally connected language and imagery, its genre hybridity and complex characterization, and its faithful representation of its local environment. In particular, the novel’s account of environmental catastrophe – in Carpentaria these are floods, not bushfires – gains relevance and prescience on every rereading, as recent apocalyptic-scale events in one continent become a warning for others.'
