'It’s a strange kind of headline for us today, living in the era of Richard Flanagan and Liane Moriarty and Helen Garner and Michael Robotham. AUSTRALIAN NOVELISTS, the top line reads, and underneath: BOOKS PUBLISHED IN ENGLAND. It’s not a front-page story, of course, literature is rarely that, but it’s in a reasonable spot: page 18 in the Brisbane Telegraph, 10 July 1926. It says: ‘The Australian novelist, Mr. Jack MacLaren, has published his twenty-fifth book, “The Isle of Escape”, which is a sex story, set in the South Seas. His wife is publishing a novel dealing with reincarnation, entitled “Which Hath Been”’. (I’d love to read both of these—they seem perfect for me—but finding them isn’t easy, as I’ll explain.)'
