- W55870478 abstract "This thesis contains two parts, a creative component, “The Museum of the Self,” and a critical essay, “Rewriting the Masculine: Exile, Return, Selfknowledge.” The creative component, a novel titled “The Museum of the Self”, concerns a man, Mick Fowler, who takes leave from his work as a headhunter to attend to the mess in his shed, material remains of the life he once shared with Joni. Mick’s journey sees him fabricate a “museum” out of objects and memories, join a men’s therapy group and become a grandfather. The novel seeks to represent one man’s journey to self-understanding and contribute to a more expansive discourse on masculinity. The critical essay, “Rewriting the Masculine: Exile, Return, Selfknowledge”, links the construction of a masculine self with the processes of self-curating and therapy. Beginning with images from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the essay briefly revisits some of my own fictions, published and unpublished, written over the course of thirty years. Journeys of exile and discovery are discussed, including the journey of men and feminism. The “unimagined arts” of shed life and therapy are compared and the “fatal apprenticeship” of filialness is canvassed. Finally, I address the same questions raised by the creative project: is the novel adequate to contain such material? Why not a memoir? Tracing a line through my previous representations of the masculine, I ask how hard would it be to represent a happy man in a fiction? Finally, I consider the “flightless bird” of realism, its possibilities and limitations." @default.
