In the Autumn issue of Meanjin Australian literary legend Gerald Murnane explains what a long and complex sentence can do for meaning. We explore the cracks between the gender binary, wonder what it is that makes regional Australia tick, and look again at the art of Tom Roberts. There's new fiction from Michael Wilding and Heather Rose, poetry from Peter Minter and Julie Chevalier, and Mile Franklin winner Sofie Laguna lists her contenders for Australia in Three Books.
Meanjin 2016 Vol 75 No 1 Autumn Reviews
-
Enjoyable and interesting read, although I was not impressed with either the poetry or the fiction in this edition.
I particularly recommend:
Gabrielle Chan's memoir-essay
Another Country
Michael Slater's essay
Real Men Do Hit Women,
and Shannon Burns'
The Lumpen Critic, on class anxiety and impostor syndrome in academia.
I also absolutely disrecommend
this appalling essay. Which, in addition to being a poorly-veiled rant about the evils of women and minorities in literary discussions, apparently
failed to cite its sources.
