  • Erskine Falls: a Crime Fiction Novel and Exegesis
    Erskine Falls: a Crime Fiction Novel and Exegesis By CHRISTOPHER MALLON Student ID No: 983478X Dissertation submitted as fulfilment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy (Humanities) Swinburne University of Technology March 2020 Abstract This practice-led PhD consists of two elements – a crime fiction novel titled Erskine Falls, and an accompanying exegesis that critically situates the author’s creative practice and the production of the text. Drawing on the traditions of hardboiled detective fiction and noir crime fiction, the novel negotiates the spectrum between these two sub-genres and explores a world which questions the many modern articulations of masculinity. Erskine Falls is a contemporaneously-set novel that follows a private eye who investigates the case of a missing girl who is from the affluent resort town of Lorne, Victoria, Australia. As the private eye moves through Lorne’s world of seaside wealth and tourism, he is simultaneously coming to terms with the post-industrial changes in his own home town of Geelong and dealing with a tumultuous relationship with his deceased business partner’s wife. His investigation eventually leads him into an underground world of criminality that belies the smiling touristic face of Lorne. The exegesis reflexively explores key writerly choices and focuses on genre, masculinity, voice, and place. Building upon the hardboiled and noir crime fiction subgenres, the project seeks to examine how the traditional hardboiled voice and its masculinities are negotiated within a contemporary, post-industrial regional Australian space. Using a practice-led methodology, the exegesis reflexively aims to situate the novel in a contemporary world through the subgenres of hardboiled detective and noir crime fiction.

  • Southern Land, Hardened Heart: the Possibility of Australian Neon Noir
    Southern Land, Hardened Heart: the possibility of Australian neon noir Christopher Przewloka Bachelor of Fine Arts (Creative Writing) Creative Writing and Literary Studies (Hons) Creative Industries Faculty Creative Writing and Literary Studies Discipline Queensland University of Technology Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Keywords Neon noir, hard-boiled, crime writing, genre, craft, Australian fiction, creative writing, practice-led research. ii Abstract Much can be learnt from dwelling in the dark underbelly of society, and it is for such reasons neon noir crime fiction has become one of the most enduring ways of analysing our culture at large. Evolving from the hard-boiled private detective stories found in early pulp fiction magazines, neon noir offers violent narratives that vivisect the social, historical, and political landscape, often blurring the line between fact and fiction. Thus neon noir eschews the romanticism of the classic hard-boiled model, and embraces something far more subversive: populist novels driven by contemporary cultural analysis. Despite both literary and commercial success in North America, Australian authors have often shied away from wholly embracing the neon noir style. This is somewhat perplexing, as Australia has had a long and enduring relationship with all forms of crime writing, especially hard-boiled—the progenitor of neon noir. So why do we shy away from the neon noir style in Australia? What are the difficulties, considerations, and possibilities of localising the form? Do the conventions of the sub-genre shift when placed in an Australian setting? This practice-led thesis consists of an Australian neon noir novel entitled Coffin’s Reach, and a 50,000 word exegesis that accompanies the creative work.

  • Two Hundred Years of Australian Crime Fiction Doi: Https:Doi.Org/10.7358/Ling-2017-002-Knig [email protected]
    Stephen Knight University of Melbourne From Convicts to Contemporary Convictions: Two Hundred Years of Australian Crime Fiction DOI: https:doi.org/10.7358/ling-2017-002-knig [email protected] Australia the great southern continent was named in European mode from the Latin for southern, ‘australis’. The English used it first for European purposes, from 1788 as a base for convicts they did not want to execute, now independent America had rejected this role – and also as a way of ensuring other European powers did not gain control of what seemed likely to be a major source of valu- able resources 1. Those manoeuvres were simplified by the refusal to treat in political or territorial terms with the Indigenous people, who in many tribes with many languages had been in Australia for thousands of years, and by the insistence on seeing the country as Terra Nullius, ‘the land of nobody’, so theorizing the theft of the massive continent. The white taking of Australia is an action that is only after two hundred years slowly being examined, acknowledged and even more slowly compensated for, and the invasion-related but long-lasting criminal acts against Indigenes are only in the last decades beginning to emerge in Australian crime fiction, as will be discussed later. But criminalities familiar to nineteenth and twentieth-century Europeans were always a presence in popular Australian literature, revealing over time varying attitudes to order and identity in the developing country, and taking paths that can seem very different from those of other countries. The criminographical genre and Australia had an early relationship when both local and London publishers described the bold distant dramas, as in 1 This is an invited essay.

  • 1 Fiction About the Solving of Crime Jillian Dellit 1. Introduction 2. The
    Fiction about the solving of crime Jillian Dellit 1. Introduction The term ‘crime fiction’ covers a wide ranGe of sub-genres including thrillers, psychological thrillers, detective, ‘cosy’, courtroom, forensic, historical, hard-boiled and para-normal to name a few. This paper focuses on fiction that relates to the solvinG of crime, primarily throuGh the process of detection. The rise of such novels is closely related to the history of crime detection itself as well, of course, to the history of the novel. Until the eiGhteenth century, the solving of crime was left to private individuals, family networKs and paid bounty hunters. It is when the apprehending of criminals and the solving of crime, as well as the punishment of crime, is recognized as a problem to be solved by society as a whole by methods other than force, that the story chanGes. In her bioGraphy of Dorothy Sayers, Dorothy Sayers: Her Life and Soul, Chapter 13, Barbara Reynolds quotes Sayers’: The detective story proper could not develop until public sympathy had veered around to the side of law and order. Much depended, too, on the establishment of effective police organization. By then the defender of the weak was no longer the knight errant but the detective – the latest of the popular heroes, the true successor of Lancelot and Roland. Sayers pointed out that stories of crime have been around for a lonG time and include Jacob and Esau, Robin Hood, Reynard the Fox and much of the Arthurian matter. They typically involve arrest, torture, confession and death. What chanGed in the eighteenth century was the use of pattern and order to solve crime – and the location of this within the responsibility of the state’s leGal system.

  • Peter Temple's Truth and Truthfulness
    Peter Temple’s Truth and Truthfulness: ‘the liquid city, the uncertain horizon’ STEPHEN KNIGHT University of Melbourne 1 Towards Truth Australians have always been welcoming to crime fiction (Knight, Continent of Mystery, ‘Origins and Sins’ 10–57). Bushranger ballads and squatter thrillers explored varied early wrongs, and rights; Victoria had two of the world’s first women crime writers, Ellen Davitt with Force and Fraud (1865) and Mary Fortune, whose many stories from 1866 often featured the detective skills of mounted trooper Mark Sinclair. Major authors Marcus Clarke and ‘Rolf Boldrewood’ published crime-related novels and Fergus Hume’s The Mystery of a Hansom Cab (1886), set and first published in Melbourne, became London’s first best-selling crime novel. Twentieth-century Australian crime writers like Louis Becke and Beatrice Grimshaw expanded the setting of mysteries to the islands in the north, as did actor Errol Flynn, who based his capable novel Showdown (1946) on his earlier journalistic travels. The bush was backdrop for Randolph Bedford’s early twentieth-century stories about ‘Billy Pagan,’ mining engineer, and Arthur Upfield created ‘Bony,’ part-Indigenous university graduate whose mother’s people’s skills helped him solve distant rural murders. Mid-century women writers mostly returned to the city—June Wright of Melbourne developed the nun-detective Mother Paul, ‘Margot Neville’ produced English-style Sydney area mysteries, and a little later Pat Flower specialised in the psycho-thriller. Jon Cleary made a distinct development with his Sydney cop Scobie Malone, starting in the 1960s—the police had been less than popular in local crime fiction, an attitude no doubt reaching back to convict days—and another major change occurred when, as English links had grown weaker, the largely-ignored American private eye was adopted in Sydney when in 1980 Peter Corris created discreetly tough Sydney detective Cliff Hardy; Marele Day’s feminist parallel was tall, clever Claudia Valentine.
