- W1814042814 abstract "The collection of stories When I Get Home explores the loss of home and the effects of warand persecution on migrants and refugees, as well as children's capacity for cruelty andone's own potential for violence. The short stories blend elements of the modem lyricstory, horror, metafiction, travel narrative and more fragmented postmodern forms.In the critical commentary I situate the collection within contemporary short fiction andshort story theory, drawing on the theory of the modem lyrical story by EileenBaldeshwiler as well as theories of postmodern short fiction. While critical theory tends toprefer the experimental story over the traditional, I argue that the postmodern form is notnecessarily more progressive than traditional forms. Instead, I contend that each storyproduces its own politics in the act of writing. I broach the ethics of voice appropriationwhen writing about characters from different ethnic backgrounds and ask how an ethicalpractice might be possible. I relate my representation of the home to the cultural andliterary debates around women's writing and the domestic, and defend the domestic as animportant literary starting point. I contest the ongoing separation of the private and publicspheres in the cultural evaluation of women's writing by demonstrating how I have placedthe home at the centre of my stories about war and persecution. I situate my approachwithin war literature and analyse how the home is represented in war fiction by men andwomen writers.I consider how memory and imagination have played a complex role in my stories aboutchildhood. I analyse the gap between the speaking, narrating self and the seeing, narratedchildhood self in the story and argue that this gap is used by short story writers tointerrogate the practice of writing the self. Finally, I take into consideration the form of theshort story collection and contend that stories should be read in relation to other stories in acollection and not as single texts. Throughout the commentary I emphasise the process ofwriting and drafting of the stories rather than focusing on the finished text, and in so doing,I demonstrate that when writing there is no preconceived ideology between form andcontent; politics is written anew with each story." @default.
