Richard Flanagan: Critical Essays
Sobre aquest llibre
Flanagan’s fictional worlds offer empathetic, often poignant, renderings of those whose voices have been lost beneath official accounts of history, stories from a small region that have made their mark on a global scale. Considering his seven novels as well as his non-fiction, journalism and correspondence, this collection examines the historical and geographical factors that have shaped Flanagan’s representation of Tasmanian identity.
This collection offers new insights into a determinedly regional writer, and the impact he has had on a local, national and global scale.
