  • A Study of How German Publishers Have Imagined Their Readers of Australian Literature
    Australia and Its German-Speaking Readers: A Study of How German Publishers Have Imagined Their Readers of Australian Literature OLIVER HAAG Austrian Research Centre for Transcultural Studies, Vienna Australian literature is marketed not only to a national audience but also to an overseas readership, who consume it both in English and in various languages of translation, of which German seems to be the most common.1 The publication of translated Australian books thus undergoes marketing processes similar to those in Australia. One of the most immediate publishing mechanisms is the physical appearance of a book, or what Gerard Genette terms the ‘publisher’s peritexts’ (16); that is, the texts that ‘surround’ the actual text, such as book covers. Dust jackets in particular establish the first act of engagement between an author—or more properly, the author’s words—and his or her prospective readers: ‘Your potential reader will form an impression of your book while looking at the cover—before they even decide to look inside’ (Masterson 161). Thus, in making a particular book palatable for a prospective readership, publishers2 shape the story with a vision of the reader in mind: first, they advertise the text through its cover illustration and blurb, both of which usually reflect and summarise the content; secondly, in so doing, publishers develop an image of prospective readers. They evaluate readers’ tastes and assess their target readers, including their age, level of education, and gender; then, based on such assessments, they develop strategies for marketing a book to this particular group of intended readers. Furthermore, Genette argues that such practices are ‘made up of a heterogeneous group of practices and discourses of all kinds and dating from all periods’ (2).

Though Vanessa initially assures Lila that she only wants weekend visits with P. Elliott had learnt first-hand what it was like to be trapped in the middle of such a war. Thanks for telling us about the problem. You can get your custom paper from our expert writers. It is a milange of emotions slowly heating until boiling point is reached. The persona of Vanessa illustrates the impact childhood experiences can have on the psyche later in life. Metacritic Reviews. George Colleen Clifford PS has been raised by his aunt Lila Nevin and her husband George since his mother died soon after his birth. I was so on the edge of my seat when it got close to the verdict that I skipped a few pages and then wanted to throw the book across the room when I read the decision From " Veronica Mars " to Rebecca take a look back at the career of Armie Hammer on and off the screen. John Hargreaves, as PS' still mostly absent father, was nobly worthless, which explained so much. By the time he published his first novel, Elliott had spent 25 years writing first radio serials in Australia and then live television dramas in New York City. What it gains, perhaps, in retrospect is a historian's view of an Australia long gone but still casting shadows over us all.

  • Genealogy and Homographesis in the Fiction of Sumner Locke Elliott
    ‘The Writers’ Picnic’: Genealogy and Homographesis in the Fiction of Sumner Locke Elliott SHAUN BELL University of New South Wales I wanted to begin this essay with a well-known anecdote recounting the dinner party Patrick White and Manoly Lascaris held in their Martin Road home for Sumner Locke Elliott. Elliott’s biographer Sharon Clarke suggests that this anecdote is ‘told so often . some have declared it fiction’ (‘Writing Life’ 239).1 As with a fictional event, there are conflicting interpretations of the evening—Clarke called it ‘a great success,’ yet David Marr’s biography of White doesn’t mention the evening at all. White had greatly admired Elliott’s third novel, Edens Lost, calling it ‘marvellous,’ noting the ‘atmosphere and place, tone of voice, and the characters—above all the characters’ (Altman, ‘Crushed’). White had said as much to Elliott’s friend and fellow New Yorker Shirley Hazzard but despite this, the admiration and affection Elliott expected were absent; second hand accounts suggest that it was a ‘quiet’ and ‘awkward’ evening, and Elliott felt ignored. The punchline (as it were) of the anecdote sees Elliott leaving the party dejected. He recounts: After saying our goodbyes, with Patrick standing at the top of the stair, I began walking back down and I heard him cry behind me: ‘Come back! Come back!’ As I was returning to New York within the following days, I thought he meant to Australia and perhaps even to visit with him and Manoly again. So, with my back still to him, and wanting to immediately reassure him, I also called out my reply.

  • Geraldine Brooks, Historical Fiction and Australian Writers in the US
    Geraldine Brooks, Historical Fiction and Australian Writers in the US ANNE PENDER UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE A number of Australian expatriate authors in the United States have made an impact on the American public in a variety of genres: Lily Brett, Geraldine Brooks, Peter Carey, Shirley Hazzard, Thomas Keneally, Jill Ker Conway, Sumner Locke Elliott, Robert Hughes, Kate Jennings, Christina Stead, Janette Turner Hospital and others. In addition, the experiences of these writers in the United States have informed their work in distinctive ways that have been important to Australian literature, and to Australian literary culture. Contemporary Australian authors such as Chloe Hooper and Nam Le have undertaken creative writing training in the US, and have returned to live in Australia. Over the last twenty years however, the globalisation of the book trade has not dissolved the concept of the expatriate writer, or removed the problems for writers linked to origin, readership, visibility, remuneration for, and recognition of their work. In fact, ironically, it seems that there is a renewed imperative for Australian writers to live outside Australia in order to gain access to a global readership and lucrative publishing opportunities. The success of high-profile expatriate writers in the US, such as Brooks and Carey, supports this claim. This article considers the historical fiction of Geraldine Brooks, who is, alongside Peter Carey, an exceptionally successful author with an immense readership in the US and across the world. Unlike Carey, however, Brooks is largely ignored by Australian critics. What follows explores Brooks’s fiction in the context of her career as a war correspondent, her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel March (2005), and the effect of her many years covering war and conflict on her work.

  • Is Australian Literature Global Enough?
    Is Australian Literature Global Enough? NICHOLAS BIRNS Eugene Lang College New School, New York What Australian literature is seems simple enough. There is a polity called Australia, and there is literature of this polity. Even people who do not know one single Australian writer—and in the US there are still some even among the literate—understand that, theoretically, Australia can have a literature. Australia is still a defined space, although the recent work of Elizabeth McMahon and Suvendrini Perera on continental and island identity has problematised that. A national literature of a state with multiple land borders with other states seems both palpable and gratifying to problematise. When French literature has been so exalted as a body at once national and universal, there is a thrill in seeing Frenchness trickle out to neighbouring nations, or be inflected by them. Moreover, traditionally Australia has not been seen as a country involved in the great border-crossing and border-altering wars of the twentieth century, nor, earlier, was it involved in imperial contestation as was Africa. In today’s globalised world, Australia is not really isolated, and Australian space contains even within its domestic borders many plural national imaginaries stemming from worldwide hybrid and diasporic identities, not to mention the potential permeability of Australia’s seacoast, as recent refugee flows have epitomised. Australia has worlds within itself: Italian worlds, Chinese worlds, Arab worlds, Greek worlds, Islamic worlds, Buddhist and Orthodox Christian worlds. Formerly one could couch this in terms of Australia becoming more diverse, more multicultural; now one might have to speak of a plurality of Australias, including totally imaginary ones like the Inner Australia conjured in Gerald Murnane’s The Plains.

    WW | Profile A magnet for brilliance: Margaret Fink Margaret Fink, 73, holds a photograph of herself taken by her ex-husband, Leon, in 1963, when she had just turned 30. Next time Margaret Fink makes a film, HER she might like to think about basing it on her own life. Feminist, atheist, one-time anarchist, artist, stylist, pianist, writer, hostess par excellence and, of course, film producer, there’s surely enough raw material to work with. The film could start, perhaps, in the pubs of post-war Sydney – places long- WILD, demolished now, such as the Tudor, the Newcastle and the Assembly – where a group of intellectuals, musicians, artists, journalists, students and general larrikins, known loosely as the Sydney Push, used to gather to discuss politics, philosophy and the sexual mores of the day. Among these free-thinking minds and unchained hearts was a precocious, wild- WILD eyed beauty named Margaret Elliott who’d just broken free from her own family to enter Sydney bohemian society. The film could begin with her in one of these pubs, a stylish slip of a thing, smoking Camels, occasionally high on dexedrene (an over- the-counter amphetamine of choice in those days!) and disarming all and sundry WAYBohemian wild child and friend of Sthe famous and – particularly the men – with her sharp wit, athletic mind and come-hither looks. infamous, film producer Margaret Fink talks to David The film would then go on to trace the Leser about the highs and lows of her amazing life. life of post-war Sydney and some of its more memorable characters, with Margaret a fixture in nearly every scene.
