These remarkable and surprising stories explore the lives of common people caught up in the everyday business of living and the struggle to survive. From a young girl who is gifted to a middle-class family for Christmas to a homeless deaf man who unexpectedly delivers a baby, Birch’s stories are set in gritty urban refuges and struggling regional communities. His deftly drawn characters find unexpected signs of hope in a world where beauty can be found on every street corner – a message on a t-shirt, a friend in a stray dog, a star in the night sky – and the ordinary kindness of strangers can have extraordinary results. In Common People Birch turns his lens on the shared experiences in modern society, his signature perceptivity affirming his position as one of Australia’s finest writers of fiction. PRAISE FOR TONY BIRCH ‘Birch is a sophisticated writer: technically adroit even at his most raw, mindful of the anticanon from which his own work emerges, he nonetheless reserves the right to deal in his chosen subject matter with a simplicity and intermittent grace that has no ideological grounds beyond the desire to allow a story to tell itself.’ The Weekend Australian Tony Birch is the author of Ghost River, which won the 2016 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for Indigenous Writing and Blood, which was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award. He is also the author of Shadowboxing, and two short story collections, Father’s Day and The Promise. Tony is a frequent contributor to ABC local and national radio and a regular guest at writers’ festivals. He lives in Melbourne and is a Senior Research Fellow at Victoria University.

There are places that are for you and places that aren’t. You can tell which is which if you’re prepared to listen.’ Tensions have been slowly building in the old farming district of Winderran. Its rich landscape has attracted a new wave of urban tree-changers and wealthy developers. But traditional loyalties and values are pushed to the brink with the announcement of a controversial dam project. Locals Eugenie and Guy are forced to choose sides, while newcomer Nick discovers there are more sinister forces at work. The personal and the political soon collide in ways that will change their fates and determine the future of the town. In Hinterland, Steven Lang has created a gripping novel that captures contemporary Australia in all of its natural beauty and conflicting ambitions. PRAISE FOR AN ACCIDENTAL TERRORIST ‘Lang’s ear for conversation, his ability to lance the heart of a matter with a single word, and his darkly Wordsworthian vision of the natural world make An Accidental Terrorist a memorably impressive debut.’ Sydney Morning Herald ‘A terrific debut.’ Overland ‘His characters are diverse and believable, the writing taught. An impressive debut’ The Age Steven Lang is the author of two novels, An Accidental Terrorist, which won Premiers’ Literary Awards in two states, and 88 Lines about 44 Women, which was shortlisted for both the NSW and Queensland Premier’s Literary Awards for Fiction.

Many readers may, like me, be moved to tears in the closing chapters.’ Readings Monthly ‘Through the gentle but raw introspections of the old man, and the uneasy, fearful life of the boy, the story moves with a sprinkling of humour amid the chilling drama towards a gripping climax.’ Good Reading Cass Moriarty lives and writes in Brisbane.

  • An Analysis of Food and Its Significance in the Australian Novels of Christina Stead, P
    F.O.O.D. (Fighting Order Over Disorder): An Analysis of Food and Its Significance in the Australian Novels of Christina Stead, Patrick White and Thea Astley. Jane Frugtneit A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Humanities James Cook University August 2007 ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to find a correlation between food as symbol and food as necessity, as represented in selected Australian novels by Christina Stead, Patrick White and Thea Astley. Food as a springboard to a unique interpretation of the selected novels has been under-utilised in academic research. Although comparatively few novels were selected for study, on the basis of fastidiousness, they facilitated a rigorous hermeneutical approach to the interpretation of food and its inherent symbolism. The principle behind the selection of these novels lies in the complexity of the prose and how that complexity elicits the “transformative powers of food” (Muncaster 1996, 31). The thesis examines both the literal and metaphorical representations of food in the novels and relates how food is an inextricable part of ALL aspects of life, both actual and fictional. Food sustains, nourishes and, intellectually, its many components offer unique interpretative tools for textual analysis. Indeed, the overarching structure of the thesis is analogous with the processes of eating, digestion and defecation. For example, following a discussion of the inextricable link between food, quest and freedom in Chapter One, which uncovers contrary attitudes towards food in the novels discussed, the thesis presents a more complex psychoanalytic theory of mental disorders related to food in Chapter Two.

  • The Genesis of Thea Astley's the Multiple Effects of Rainshadow
    The Genesis of Thea Astley’s The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow CHERYL TAYLOR JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY My purpose in this essay, which extends a project commenced a decade ago (Taylor 2009), is to analyse the sources of Thea Astley’s The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow, including but going beyond the list provided in the author’s ‘Acknowledgments.’ In truth, Astley’s achievement in Multiple Effects as in her other fiction far surpasses the sum of contributions that she derived from earlier writings. The mostly forgotten books that she lists as ‘[i]mpulses’ and her bequest to the Fryer Library of her newspaper sources and hand-written notes suggest that she may have welcomed a study of this novel’s genesis. The essay begins with an overview of the place of Multiple Effects in Astley’s oeuvre and the literary and political contexts for Astley’s increasing engagement with the history of Aboriginal dispossession. It then turns in detail to the novel itself and offers an excavation of the sources that inform its historical narrative. In doing this I hope to demonstrate something about Astley’s creative process: the extent and detail of her research, the ways in which her novel creatively reworks this archive, and some of the effects of that on the kind of history that Astley tells. Following the publication in 1994 of Coda, intended as the title indicates to be Astley’s last novel, the Keating Labor government awarded her a five-year Creative Fellowship of $325,000. Thus encouraged, after ‘one year of musing and two years of writing’ (Sayer 18) at Cambewarra on the NSW south coast, Astley published Multiple Effects in August 1996.

  • LOS AMOS DE LA ISLA Thea Astley --- Proyecto De Traducción De Laura Irene González Mendoza
    LOS AMOS DE LA ISLA Thea Astley --- Proyecto de traducción de Laura Irene González Mendoza Título original: Beachmasters Género: Novela Idioma: Inglés País: Australia Edición original: Penguin Books Australia (Victoria, 1985) ISBN: 0-14-007912-2 Extensión: 185 páginas NOVELA SINOPSIS El gobierno central de Trinitas no puede controlar Kristi, la isla periférica, como tampoco pueden hacerlo los dirigentes británicos ni los franceses. En esta isla del Pacífico donde la sangre y la tradición están tan mezcladas como las lealtades y los intereses, la revolución por la independencia será efímera. Aun así, arrasará con las vidas de sus habitantes: desde los colonos franceses y británicos, los nativos ni-kristi y los hapkas o mediacasta, hasta el otrora poderoso yeremanu o gran jefe, Tommy Narota. En este caos, Gavi Salway, un hapkas nieto de un antiguo hacendado, tratará de entender sus complicados orígenes y enfrentará una riesgosa prueba de identidad. Escrita originalmente en inglés, con frases en francés y en bislama (la lengua criolla de las islas Vanuatu), esta novela enfatiza la inequidad de las relaciones transculturales que se vive en un contexto poscolonial tanto a nivel lingüístico como político y social. Su publicación en español es relevante no sólo por la escasez de traducciones de obras australianas y por la importancia de la autora, sino por la actualidad de temas como la desigualdad, la identidad y el racismo, dentro y fuera del contexto poscolonial. ----- THEA ASTLEY (Brisbane, 1925 - Byron Bay, 2004) Narradora australiana galardonada con el Patrick White Award y distinguida como Oficial de la Orden de Australia. Publicó 15 novelas, la mayoría multipremiadas; entre ellas, The Well Dressed Explorer, The Slow Natives, The Acolyte y Drylands obtuvieron el Miles Franklin Award.
