What Dreams May Come : David Malouf's Dream Stuff, Peter Pierce , single work criticism
Argues that Malouf's story collection is an exploration fo the perplexities of individual perception, consciousness, and conscience rather than of other kinds of burdens of social, communal life, suggesting a 'testing stage of imaginative transition through which Malouf is presently working' (752).

'A Delicate Business' : David Malouf's Shorter Prose, Paul Sharrad , single work criticism
