Stories Do Cross Asian Borders, Susan Wyndham , single work column
A column canvassing current literary news including a brief response to Wyndham's contention in 'Region's Tales Should Be Brought to Book' that Australian writers have 'skipped over' the Asian region as a literary setting.

Region's Tales Should Be Brought to Book, Susan Wyndham , single work column
In the wake of the December 2004 South Asian tsunami Susuan Wyndham searched for '"big-name" Australian writers who had written books set in Indonesia, Thailand or Sri Lanka'. Wyndham discovered few such authors and contended: 'Our writers, uninterested or uncomprehending, have skipped over the region to more familiar imaginative ground. Readers turning to books for an understanding of the devestated countries will have to look elsewhere.'
