Abstract:
AbstractAndrew McGahan is one of Queensland's most successful novelists. Over the past 23 years, he has published six adult novels and three novels in his Ship Kings series for young adults. McGahan's debut novel, Praise (1992), won the Vogel National Literary Award for an unpublished manuscript, Last Drinks (2000) won the Ned Kelly Award for Crime Writing, and The White Earth went on to win the Miles Franklin Literary Award, The Age Book of the Year Award and the Courier-Mail Book of the Year Award, and was shortlisted for the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards. In 2009, Wonders of a Godless World earned McGahan the Best Science Fiction Novel in the Aurealis Awards for Excellence in Australian Speculative Fiction. McGahan's unashamedly open critiques of Australian, and specifically Queensland, society have imbued his works with a sense of place and space that is a unique trait of his writing. In this interview, McGahan allows us a brief visit into the mind of one of Australia's pre-eminent contemporary authors, shedding light on the ‘what ifs’ and ‘idle daydreaming’ that have pushed his ideas from periphery to page.

Zhang, Xiuqing. "Ecofeminism in Thea Astley’s Drylands." Advances in Language and Literary Studies 11, no. 3 (2020): 42. http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.11n.3p.42.

Abstract:
Australian multi-award-winning novelist Thea Astley was a great writer in promoting feminism and ecofeminism in her later years’ writing. This paper analyzes her fourth Miles Franklin award novel — Drylands from the perspective of ecofeminism. From analysis, it draws a conclusion that Astley makes a lot of efforts to raise readers’ awareness that her women characters’ liberation depends on their economic independence but it will be a hard and long way to achieve the final emancipation of women and total equality between women and men.

Vladiv-Glover, Slobodanka. "An Unknown Australian War Novel: Miles Franklin’s Nemari ništa: Six Months with the Serbs." Transcultural Studies 10, no. 2 (2014): 1–21. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/23751606-01002003.

Full text
Abstract:
Miles Franklin’s sketches from the Balkan front are discussed in the context of Franklin as an Australian writer of “the soil” whose observations of the Serbian soldiers and life in the hospital camp on the Salonika front take the form of sketches of manners. The sketch of manners is announced in the literary manifestoes of the French, the English and the Russians as part of a poetics of Realism in the European literary canon. These prescribe the capturing of a moment in time as the task of the writer, who acts as a ‘local historian’ perpetuating the memory of the manners and mores of his contemporaries for posterity. Franklin’s sketches comply also with the idea of ‘circumstantial beauty’ propounded by Charles Baudelaire in his essay on Constantin Guys. It is argued that the Serbs portrayed by Franklin become a symbol of the desire of the age. The sketches transcend the modest claims of the writer of being simple testimony to the Serb as she saw him and are a chronicle of feelings of the author, her reactions to sounds, sights and the humanity she encounters. It is the personalized emotive point of view, described as “Australianism” which imparts unity to the sketches and gives grounds for calling Six Months with the Serbs an Australian war novel.

Abstract:
We'll get crushed by the ocean but it will not get us wet.—Isaac Brock, “Invisible” (2007)“There is no Sea With Which Our Age is So Imperfectly Acquainted as the Frozen Ocean,” Wrote the Eighteenth-Century Russian hydrographer Gavriil Sarychev, “and no empire which has more powerful motives and resources for extending its information, in this quarter, than Russia” (iii). Russia's Great Northern Expedition of the 1730s and later expeditions, like Sarychev's in 1785, mapped the shores of the Arctic Ocean across continental Asia, an impressive feat by any century's standards. Meanwhile, the American shores of the Arctic Ocean remained entirely unknown to the European empires (England, France, Spain) most interested in passing to and from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans via the Northwest and Northeast passages. Alexander MacKenzie, Samuel Hearne, and John Franklin, each traveling with native people, walked thousands of miles to reach the Frozen Ocean, leaving in their wake the occasional human disaster and an unimpeachable record of publishing successes, like MacKenzie's Voyages from Montreal to the Frozen Ocean (1801) and Franklin's Narrative of a Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea (1824).

Full text
Abstract:
Australian fiction writer Jane Rawson writes about strange but familiar worlds. Her books and stories are relentlessly inventive, disruptive but tender and funny, and thoroughly thought-provoking. Her debut novel, A wrong turn at the Office of Unmade Lists (Transit Lounge, 2013), was shortlisted in the science fiction category for the 2013 Aurealis Awards and won the Small Press Network’s ‘Most Underrated Book Award’. This was followed by two books in 2015, a novella, Formaldehyde (2015, winner of the Seizure Viva la Novella competition), and the nonfiction work The Handbook: Surviving and Living with Climate Change (Transit Lounge, co-written with James Whitmore). Her novel From the Wreck, the main topic of this interview, was published by Transit Lounge (Melbourne) in 2017 and by Picador (UK) in 2019. It won the Aurealis Award for Best Science Fiction Novel, was longlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award, and shortlisted for the Barbara Jeffries Award, the Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction and the Adelaide Festival Awards for Literature. This interview took place before a live audience at Imprints Booksellers in Hindley Street, Adelaide, in 2018, and was updated via email exchange between the interviewer and Jane Rawson.

Solomon, Alessandra. "Carpentaria: a foray into Indigenous consciousness." NEW: Emerging scholars in Australian Indigenous Studies, February 6, 2018, 91–94. http://dx.doi.org/10.5130/nesais.v2i1.1483.

Full text
Abstract:
As the first novel written by an Indigenous Australian to win the Miles Franklin Literary Award, Alexis Wright’s 2006 epic Carpentaria traverses Australia’s traditionalist literary landscape and allows her readers access into the kaleidoscopic style of Aboriginal storytelling and history. Through her poignant depiction of a town in crisis, Wright challenges established notions of time and authenticity while considering the place of storytelling in contemporary Australia. Still feeling the effects of the white imperialism that arrived with the first fleet, Carpentaria’s predominantly white readership is forced to reassess whether it is truly ‘post colonial’. Through her fairly blunt, ironic characters who serve as representations of the division between Western pragmatism and Indigenous spirituality, Wright eases her readers into the long overdue flow of cross-racial dialogue.

Barbosa Neves, Barbara, Josephine Wilson, Alexandra Sanders, and Renata Kokanović. "Using crystallization to understand loneliness in later life: integrating social science and creative narratives in sensitive qualitative research." Qualitative Research, April 23, 2021, 146879412110059. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/14687941211005943.

Full text
Abstract:
This article draws on crystallization, a qualitative framework developed by Laurel Richardson and Laura Ellingson, to show the potential of using sociological narratives and creative writing to better analyze and represent the lived experiences of loneliness among older people living in Australian care homes. Crystallization uses a multi-genre approach to study and present social phenomena. At its core is a concern for the ethics of representation, which is critical when engaging with vulnerable populations. We use two case studies from research on loneliness to illustrate an application of crystallization through different narrative types. To supplement our sociological narratives, we invited author Josephine Wilson to write creative narratives based on the case studies. Josephine was awarded the prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award in 2017 for Extinctions, a novel exploring themes such as later life and loneliness. By contrasting the two approaches—sociological and creative narratives—we discuss the implications of crystallization for qualitative research.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the history of the Australian novel from the 1950s, focusing on the socio-cultural context in which the Australian novel has become heterogeneous in size, outlook, and ethnic composition. It first considers developments in the 1950s–1970s, when Patrick White emerged as a powerful canonical agent in the modernization of Australian literary culture by challenging white Australian conservatism. It then turns to the period 1972–1988, which saw the emergence of novels that reflected progressive nationalism, multicultural diversity reflecting Australia’s changing demographic, the appearance of Indigenous writing, and the new perspectives brought by feminist and revisionist history. It also discusses publishing in the 1990s and beyond, when Australian fiction contested the deep silences brought by colonization and made a shift to transnationalism. The chapter concludes with an assessment of recipients of the Miles Franklin Literary Award and an analysis of the ways in which the novel in Australia has affirmed the interconnectedness of Australian literature with its region and the world.
