Southerly Vol 70 No 3 2010 : India, India

by David Brooks

Series:Southerly (70:3)

Description

There are perhaps not even one thousand tertiary students of Australian Literature in Australia itself. In India there are at least forty times that, providing the basis for a strong off-shore culture of the study and criticism of Australian Literature. Assembled at a time of high emotion in Indian/Australian relations, on and off the cricket-pitch, this issue of 'Southerly' endeavours to give readers a glimpse of this intriguing literary development. 'India India' not only presents a show more veritable feast from the subcontinent, but reflects just how deeply our cultures, literary and otherwise, are intertwined. And, as ever, a selection from the best new Australian writing, whatever its subject, from Jennifer Maiden, Craig Powell, Richard Deutch, Christopher Edwards, John Kinsella, and many others. show less
