Notes

  • Written in the form of stories by fictional character 'Roland Eye' and commentary by 'Dr Arthur Mee'.

    From the cover: 'Roland Eye's superbly crafted stories are nothing but traditional-Australian: naturalistic, accurate, moving, detailed, acutely shrewd and perceptive, with a material that is drawn directly from the day-to-day life of ordinary people. Or are they? Arthur Mee begs to differ. And we find out why as soon as he embarks upon his literary critique of Eye's work: for Dr Mee is an audacious postmodernist, an avid poststructuralist...'

  • Epigraph: Therefore am I still
    A lover of the meadows and the woods,
    And mountains; and of all that we behold
    From this green earth; of all the mighty world
    Of eye, and ear - both what they half create,
    And what perceive...
    Wordsworth, 'Tintern Abbey'
  • Dedication: For Helen.
