Works about this Work

Diasporic Greek-Australian Writing Deconstructed : Challenging Europe with New Voices, New Perspectives Anna Dimitriou , 2007 single work criticism
— Appears in: Europe : New Voices, New Perspectives : Proceedings from the Contemporary Europe Research Centre Postgraduate Conferences, 2005/2006 2007; (p. 30-40) 'This paper will concentrate on a particular methodology which aims to deconstruct the literature of diasporic Greek Australian writers, mainly that written by Christos Tsiolkas and Vasso Kalamaras, and compare this with particular themes explored by the modern Greek writer, George Seferis. I shall then show how a new body of texts which is now emerging in Australia, specifically oral testimonials of migrants compiled in anthologies, can add further insights and contextualise the particular themes which this paper explores. This kind of research is relatively new as it involves a cross disciplinary methodology which deals with cultural analysis, together with literary critique, showing how literature and lived experience is an interpretative transaction' (31).
