'Antipodean China was born from a decade of cross-cultural literary exchange between the Writing and Society Research Centre at Western Sydney University and the Chinese Writers’ Association. It features writings from a wide spectrum of literary figures including writers, poets, translators, and critics, who positively engage with issues of difference in the cross-hemispherical other while envisioning connections between the two countries from a literary perspective. This is embodied in the multi-chapter dialogue between Alexis Wright and the Tibetan writer Alai, which re-imagines the parameters of nation and locality in literary writings.' (Introduction)
