AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'To say that Alexis Wright’s fourth novel, Praiseworthy, represents a continuation of her previous work might seem redundant, given that authors tend to possess an inescapable style and reveal a certain obsessiveness regarding themes, but one might argue that Wright’s fiction is distinctively characterised or even defined by a reiterative quality. This is something I’d like to briefly explore in this review.' (Introduction)

    y separately published work icon JASAL vol. 24 no. 1 20 December 2024 29389497 2024 periodical issue 'JASAL has long provided an important platform for scholarly work exploring the diverse and dynamic traditions, voices, and methodologies shaping the nation’s literary landscape. This issue continues that tradition, featuring a diversity of voices that reflect on, engage with, and raise critical questions about contemporary conversations in the field of Australian literature. As we celebrate the continuing evolution of the field, and indeed the resilience of Australian literary studies, we also mark a significant transition in the journal’s leadership. This issue is the final one in which we, Robert Clarke and Victoria Kuttainen, serve as general editors. When we signed on at the beginning of 2022, we signalled that a healthy journal editorship should last no longer than three years. As we step down as general editors, we have also stepped up into other roles, with Robert as the Coordinator of the University of Tasmania Hedberg Writer- In-Residence program, and Victoria as the Centre Head of the new Roderick Centre for Australian Literature and Creative Writing.'
