Australia: The New New World by GRANTA The Magazine of New Writing (Second Hand Book)

Description SECOND HAND BOOK Is Australia a remote chunk of the northern, western world or a part of Asia? Is it a new version of the USA with European manners (‘the new California’), or a second-hand version of Europe with American ones? How does it accommodate the fate of its original human inhabitants, or propose a decent future for them? Why is its head of state still the British queen? In Australia, two universal, modern problems are vividly posed. Who are we? What shall we become? This special 352-page issue of Granta is devoted to Australia, as it was and is, in new fiction, reportage, memoir and photography. With: Murray Bail, Georgia Blain, Polly Borland, Peter Carey, Peter Conrad, Robyn Davidson, Kate Grenville, Howard Jacobson, Thomas Keneally, David Malouf, David Moore, Frank Moorhouse, Les Murray, Ben Rice, Paul Toohey, Tim Winton.
