- W1600516433 abstract "KERRYN GOLDSWORTHY, FORMER AUSTRALIAN BOOK Review editor, now Adelaide-based reviewer and independent scholar, has discovered joys of blogosphere. Rather mysteriously called A Fugitive Phenomenon, her site includes a series of observations from Adelaide Writers' Week that finished in March.The weather was just a touch too glittery to be celestial on first day, Goldsworthy writes. palm trees in Pioneer Women's Gardens suited temperature and softened precarious knowledge you always have in Adelaide that you are on edge of desert.In year marking tenth anniversary of Coalition government, literary Australia is yet again swimming in debates about truth and fakery, role of government in cultural policy, and role of writer and literary fiction. History and politics are never far away.When Perth poet and prose writer Fay Zwicky accepted Patrick White Award last November her response was apt. On hearing that she won prestigious award set up by Australia's first Nobel Laureate for literature to acknowledge little-rewarded writers, she first thought it was a hoax. I was completely bowled over, she told Age. At 72, Zwicky is still writing. Her next collection of poems, Picnic, will appear in 2007 via Sydney independent, Giramondo. She says that her work is increasingly affected by the political state of things . . . [and] leaning towards a study of despotism, waste of life and need for survival.Another recent winner, Kate Grenville, awarded Commonwealth Writers' Prize for her novel The Secret River, is also talking of politics, but of a historical kind. Critical responses to Grenville's novel have referred to work as an example of a novelist entering so-called wars that, according to Age literary critic Jason Steger, flared a few years ago around documentation and interpretation of frontier violence.Located in NSW's Hawkesbury River region, The Secret River is based on experiences of one of Grenville's antecedents, while drawing on a well-documented massacre that took place in 1838. Herein lies problem, says historian Mark McKenna.Grenville's conflation of an actual event with experiences of her fictionalized forebear two decades later reflects a situation where of fiction are now more commonly seen to be most trustworthy purveyors of past. Such a version of past, tempered by sentiment, can lead to a kind of comfort shorn of any critical allegiance to accuracy of sources, he writes.Referring to a 1996 interview with David Malouf, where writer noted widespread interest in fictive history, McKenna expresses concern at claims that only freedom from historical sources and freedom from obligation to be true to those sources that allows restitution of past to occur. Such fiction allows readers to relive Australia's past through a kind of mediated dream experience that perceives Aboriginal topics as a kind of rite of passage for (white) Australian writers to pass through, before as a nation can move on. Perhaps should start by explaining political reasons for warm embrace of historical fiction at moment, McKenna writes. Such fiction, he explains, offers a history made to order, made to fit. Its political potency is mute when compared with real thing.In response to McKenna's Brisbane lecture, The Australian's literary critic, Stella Clarke, defended Grenville, stating that as a nation coming to terms with its colonial past, we need all help can get. Novelists such as Roger McDonald, Peter Carey, and Thomas Keneally provided a useful service when they reminded readers that Australian was lived, made and messed up by people like us. Clarke then quoted Keneally saying that history is too rich to be left in their [historians'] hands.Peter Carey's latest, Theft: a love story, generated largely positive reviews on its April publication, despite most critics retelling its complex plot in their reviews (something that Australian Book Review's Karen Lamb says irritates Carey, who dismisses such literalness among local critics as an outcome of their journalistic training). …" @default.
