Works about this Work

Review of Gail Jones : Word, Image, Ethics, by Tanya Dalziell Paul Sharrad , 2021 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , 30 April vol. 36 no. 1 2021;
— Review of Gail Jones : Word, Image, Ethics Tanya Dalziell , 2020 multi chapter work criticism

'Grouping sets of novels and stories to elucidate the functions of key tropes in Jones’s fiction, Dalziell covers the writer’s entire output up to 2020. With recourse to the novelist’s essays and interviews, chapters provide close readings of weather, time, reading and writing, image and modernity. The interest overall is to show how unstable oscillations in the stories serve to express an idea of ethical relations as tentative constructions of community aware of their limitations, both in life and literature.'

Tanya Dalziell. Gail Jones: Word, Image, Ethics. Delys Bird , 2020 single work review
— Appears in: JASAL , vol. 20 no. 2 2020;
— Review of Gail Jones : Word, Image, Ethics Tanya Dalziell , 2020 multi chapter work criticism 'In this work of exemplary and extensive scholarship, Tanya Dalziell enters into a kind of conversation, one between herself, as a responsive and knowledgeable guide to Gail Jones’s writing and thinking, and the texts themselves. Dalziell’s discussion is based on comprehensive reference to all seven (to date) of the novels, and to several of the stories from Jones’s two collections of short fiction. There are also numerous references to many of the essays that are an important part of Jones’s writing. Dalziell conveys her intimate knowledge of all this work, as she explicates what is a very broad field of writing, recognising Jones’s achievement in those several genres. In addition, Word, Image, Ethics underlines the substantive and coherent nature of Jones’s writing, which returns in each of its modes to one or more of the ideas that inform that work. A recurrent example is an interest in the complex nature of time in its different manifestations.' (Introduction)
