'The article delves into the life and literary world of David Malouf, an acclaimed Australian writer, exploring the intersection of his upbringing in Queensland and his artistic endeavors. It examines the juxtaposition between Malouf's classical education and his immersion in the vibrant yet often dismissed culture of the Gold Coast. It elucidates Malouf's profound connection to the landscapes that shaped him and his relentless pursuit of artistic expression.' (Publication abstract)
