Description
Richard Flanagan: Critical Essays is the first book to be published about the life and work of this major world author. Written by twelve leading critics from Australia, Europe and North America, these richly varied essays offer new ways of understanding Flanagan's contribution to Tasmanian, Australian and world literature.
Flanagan's fictional worlds offer empathetic, often poignant, renderings of those whose voices have been lost beneath official accounts of history, stories from a small region that have made their mark on a global scale. Considering his seven novels as well as his non-fiction, journalism and correspondence, this collection examines the historical and geographical factors that have shaped Flanagan's representation of Tasmanian identity.
This collection offers new insights into a determinedly regional writer, and the impact he has had on a local, national and global scale.

Praised as 'a worthy addition' to the scholarship on Flanagan, this collection is noted for its thoughtful and erudite analyses.

The essays reveal how Flanagan has challenged mainland Australian indifference towards Tasmania, reinforcing his impact on both local and national levels.
