Gerald Murnane (Australian Writers)
No Customer Reviews
This is the first full-length study of Gerald Murnane, one of Australia's most brilliant and controversial writers. Imre Salusinszky provides detailed interpretations of Murnane's work, from Tamarisk Row to Velvet Waters. He argues that Murnane's true subject is the nature of consciousness and imagination, their role in the world, and the place of writing in their constitution. Murnane's books explore the question of what is "inside" of "outside" the mind--the question of solipsism. The triumph of Murnane's fiction, according to Salusinszky, has been its ability to explore these themes, while at the same time remaining deeply individual. Although Murnane's reputation has been mainly confined to Australia thus far, an implicit argument of the book is that his emergence as a major international figure is now only a matter of time.
