'In September, Text Publishing brought out Deep South: Stories from Tasmania,
a collection of twenty-four Tasmanian stories that I co-edited with Danielle
Wood. Our book is a calculated attempt to influence what people read: to
persuade both Tasmanians and visitors alike to read some of the stories that
have come out of the island over the last two centuries. It is, to draw on
Michael Heyward's critique of the neglect of Australian literature more
generally, an effort to curate Tasmania's literary history - or at least a part
of it. And that's a start.' (Author's introduction)
