AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This paper surveys how Sam Watson has reworked the notion of a dead heart [of Australia] in his fantasy novel The Kadaitcha Sung, by populating the land with the spirits of murdered Indigenous people and also presenting the landscape, and particularly Uluru, as the sacred setting of power and restoration' (39).
