| Summary |
This is the most innovative resource in Australian literature in many years. An anthology of contemporary short stories, each with a commentary by their authors, the collection breaks down the wall between the creative and discursive, the imagistic and the expository. Filled with cutting-edge, innovative writers and armed with an expansive definition of what it is to be an Australian, this will be at once accessible to undergraduate students and informative and challenging for their teachers |
