Nobelpristagaren Patrick White är omgiven av en månghövdad och otålig kör av fantastiska berättarröster som gestaltar allt detta. Rösterna spänner från kapten Tenchs dokumentära ögonvittnesskildringar av mötet med den jungfruliga kontinenten på 1790-talet till Peter Careys allegoriska samtidsvisioner av australiskt liv på 1990-talet. Det finns inget bättre sätt att upptäcka Australien än i deras sällskap! Med denna bok hoppas jag tillhandahålla ett verktyg, en kartskiss och guide för den nyfikne och för den som själv vill utforska rikedomen i den australiska roman- och novellitteraturen. Skatterna finns där! Berättare från Oz gavs ut 1995 och finns inte längre att köpa i bokhandeln. Därför gör jag nu boken tillgänglig i digitalt format i tron att här fortfarande finns intressant information för den som är nyfiken på australisk litteratur. Jag har inte uppdaterat innehållet förutom litteraturlistorna som nu speglar vad som finns översatt till svenska fram till sommaren 2021. 5 Linde/Berättare från Oz Ett avstamp ”Patrick White är den stora eken och vi andra buskarna vid dess rot.” Så ödmjukt uttrycker sig den australiske författaren Murray Bail när han talar om samtida australisk skönlitteratur. Han är alltför blygsam. De senaste decennierna har det i Australien vuxit fram en ny spännande litteratur, som visserligen inte fullt ut, och till alla delar, kan mäta sig med White i episk bredd och stilistiskt mästerskap, men den är på väg upp. Det växer så det knakar och visst har den nått högre än buskhöjd bredvid den jättelika eken. Detta faktum är inte helt känt i Sverige. Här framstår White i allmänhet fortfarande som ett sällsamt och ensligt monument i en litterär ökenkontinent. Det är aningen märkligt eftersom modern australisk litteratur och konst fått ett brett internationellt genombrott. Australisk film har blivit ett begrepp. Föga bekant är dock att här producerades en av världens första filmer, Soldiers of the Cross, 1901, och att Australien var en av världens ledande film- producenter fram till första världskriget. De växande kostnaderna, konkurrensen från Hollywood och utländska intressens uppköp av lokala biografkedjor försatte dock filmbranschen i en långvarig törnrosasömn som inte brutits förrän alldeles nyligen. Även musiken har de senaste tjugo åren upplevt ett uppsving. Landet bubblar av levande musik. Men det är inte de internationella artisternas gästspel som gör Australien så intressant utan den blomstrande lokala musiken. Den hittar man inte bara på Sydneys imponerande operahus utan också på de betydligt sjaskigare pubarna. Dessa otaliga ölställen är grogrund för en mängd musikstilar och band som här hittar sin första publik. Antalet seriösa australiska författare som översätts och på annat sätt uppmärksammas internationellt har ökat markant under 80- och 90-talen liksom intresset på hemmaplan för de inhemska konstnärerna. Faktum är att Australien är ett av de länder där det säljs flest böcker per innevånare. Litteratur, film, musik; alla tycks de vara konstarter som frodas i den australiska solen. Men det har inte alltid varit så. Det är först under de senaste tjugo till trettio åren de sköna konsterna kunnat tala helt fritt ur hjärtat. Australien har haft ett av de strängaste censurorganen i världen. En orsak till detta kan härledas tillbaka till det gamla auktoritära samhällssystemet med rötter i straffångetiden. Regeringens främsta censurerande instans var Tulldepartementet med en absolut makt att beslagta allting som ansågs hädande, oanständigt eller obscent. Böcker som betraktades vara utan litterärt värde bannlystes ögonblickligen och 6 Linde/Berättare från Oz släpptes aldrig in i landet. Litteratur som tjänstemännen däremot fann ha en tveksam men ändock tillräckligt påtaglig litterär förtjänst överlämnades till samväldets litterära censurnämnd. Den var i sin tur underställd tullministern, som hade sista ordet. I detta censursystem, där tulltjänstemän och politiker kunde avgöra en boks vara eller icke vara, fanns det ibland ett par hundra böcker på den ”svarta listan”. En längre tid inkluderade den D.H. Lawrences Lady Chatterley's Lover, Brendan Behans Borstal Boy och Vladimir Nabokovs Lolita. En tillsynes oförargerlig titel som Förlossning utan smärta förbjöds fram till 1965 då den friades efter hot om rättsliga utmaningar mot censurmyndigheternas beslut. Å andra sidan förblev Wayland Youngs Eros Denied, J.P. Donleavys The Ginger Man, Sir Richard

They live in a dream. The subtle poison that penetrates their brain renders them insensible to the real world and makes them prey of terrible or delightful phantoms. Books are the opium of the Occident. They devour us. A day is coming on which we shall all be keepers of libraries, and that will be the end. (Anatole France 1888) I was wondering about the theory of the composite man. The man who might evolve in a few thousand years if we broke down all the barriers. Or if they broke themselves down, which is more likely. A completely unrestricted mating - black, white, brown, yellow, all the racial characteristics blended, all the resulting generations coming into the world free of the handicaps that are hung round the necks of half-casts now. (Eleanor Dark 1938) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To write this history of Australian literature was as difficult as it was enjoyable. Many times I felt very alone, locked into a private world of books and ideas. Yet many people expressed interest in this project and offered their support.

Signed ___________________________ Jeff Sparrow, January 2007 2 Abstract The creative project Communism: a love story is a piece of literary non- fiction: a biography of the communist intellectual Guido Carlo Luigi Baracchi (1887-1975). It investigates Baracchi’s privileged childhood as the son of the government astronomer and a wealthy heiress, his career as a university activist, his immersion in Melbourne’s radical and artistic milieu during the First World War, his role in the formation of the Communist Party of Australia, his changing attitudes to communism during the 1920s and 1930s while in Australia and overseas and his eventual identification with the Trotskyist movement. The project explores the different strands of thought within Australian communism, the impact of Stalinisation on the movement both in Australia and overseas, and the personal and political difficulties confronting facing anti-Stalinist radicals.
