AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'While I was reading Josephine Wilson's novel Extinctions, the thought that occurred to me most frequently was, "Why did I not hear of and read this book sooner?" Despite escaping my notice for the past two years, it did not go unrecognized in its country of publication: the book won the inaugural Dorothy Hewett Award for an Unpublished Manuscript as well as the prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award for 2017, and it is easy to understand why. This book is as  humorous as it is profound and as original as it is successful.' (Introduction)

    'This current issue of Antipodes fittingly represents the work of the three editors who have guided the journal's production in the past year or so. Volume 32 (2018), a double issue, marked the official end of Nicholas Birns's eighteen-year tenure as editor of Antipodes, and as that volume came to production, Belinda Wheeler lent a diligent hand and a keen eye to the publication of the double issue. An essay or two approved by Nicholas has made its way into the current issue (33.1), with Belinda acquiring many of the essays in this issue. Belinda also provided the editorial guidance for the special section on the work of Alexis Wright. It is from the capable hands of Nicholas and Belinda that I take the reins of the journal Antipodes, with a well-mapped path behind and an open road ahead.' (Brenda Machosky, Editorial introduction)
