'The novel comprises two separate narratives. The first, told in the style of a fairytale, is set in a traditional Greek peasant village during and after World War II. Its world is still magical. ... The second narrative is set in the present time. The narrator is a 36-year-old gay, Greek-Australian photographic artist named Isaac. We meet Isaac at a time when he has travelled to Greece for what turns out to be a rather dismal officially funded exhibition of his works.'

Description
This unit is designed for students who are interested in exploring writing both creatively and critically. Students are asked to think critically about the historical and cultural meaning of writing and its variety of forms, notions of audience, and the industrial/commercial structures within which writing reaches its markets. The prime aim of this unit, however, is to get students to develop their own writing and to broaden their knowledge of creative skills and techniques.
