'Some Further Being' : Engaging with the Other in David Malouf's An Imaginary Life, Don Randall , single work criticism (p. 17-32)
Benang, this 'Most Local of Histories' : Annexing Colonial Records into a World without End, Lisa Slater , single work criticism
The article 'examines Kim Scott's novel Benang as a counter-history and an ethics of speech, which participates in a regeneration of Nyoongar cultural knowledge. ... Scott has composed Benang both to question the adequacy of the novel, and the English language, to represent Indigeneity, and to propose a style of writing that generates new speaking positions for Indigenous people' (51).
(p. 51-68)
Taking the Waters : Abjection and Homecoming in The Shipping News and Death of a River Guide, Fiona Polack , single work criticism
The article argues that Annie Proulx's The Shipping News and Flanagan's Death of a River Guide 'construct Newfoundland and Tasmania as havens from the disorienting effects of postmodernism', and investigates 'how the two narratives bring their misfit protagonists back to the islands of their forefathers to undergo a traumatic but effective "process" of homecoming' (93).
(p. 93-109)
