Australia - A Literary Landscape?
In the mid-1960s, the Idea of an Australian writing a book was, to quote
Thomas Keneally , like that of a cat riding a bicycle. By the late 1970s however, the writings of David Williamson , Frank Moorhouse and Peter Carey were being seen as evidence of a literary renaissance Down Under. Writer and critic
John Baxter , a refugee In the 1960s from the Philistinism of his fellow Australians. wonders whether there really has been a change Down Under.
