1 Moorhouse and The Angry Decade Janice Shaw , 2013 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , June vol. 27 no. 1 2013; (p. 31-36) 'Shaw discusses Frank Moorhouse's early writings on Australian sociography. Frank Moorhouse's early writings, in particular the short story collections he termed "discontinuous narrative," Futility and Other Animals (1969) and The Americans, Baby (1972), are a contribution to the current of social and literary changes in Australia around the events of 1972, a year which "has become one of those dates that serve as shorthand reference to distinct periods or phases" (v), according to Kiernan in his Introduction to The Americans, Baby.' (Editor's abstract)
1 'Reading Detective Fiction' or Writing It? Frank Moorhouse's Lateshows Janice Shaw , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Clues : A Journal of Detection , Spring vol. 29 no. 1 2011; (p. 82-92) The author discusses Australian writer Frank Moorhouse’s exploration of the crafting of literature and the writer’s function through the use of the detective genre in Lateshows. He contrasts the whodunit as an authorcentric and -dominated form with the discontinuous narrative, in which forms such as the short story and autobiography are interrelated (Editor's abstract).
1 Beverley Farmer's Embrace of the Mirror Janice Shaw , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Antipodes , December vol. 25 no. 2 2011; (p. 151-159) Janice Shaw examines Beverley Farmer's A Body of Water. Shaw states that the Farmer's term 'embrace of the mirror' is a motif that 'characterises Farmer's writing in terms of the relationships she presents. The gender issues revealed through these relationships are characterised by feelings of coldness, otherness, and love, being a reflection of the self which only serves to emphasise its 'selfish nature...' (p. 151)
