この電子書籍について

A wonderful collection of twenty-four short stories that celebrate the history, culture and creativity of Tasmania.

This handsome collection, the first to bring together the finest stories about Tasmania, includes works by notable early Australian writers, such as Marcus Clarke and Tasma; internationally renowned practitioners, like Hal Porter, Carmel Bird and Nicholas Shakespeare; and a range of newer voices, from Danielle Wood and Rohan Wilson to Rachael Treasure.

These twenty-four superb stories showcase the island's colonial past, its darkness and humour, the unique beauty and savagery of its landscape.

A must-read for enthusiasts of Australian literature, Deep South comes with a critical introduction from the editors and biographical sketches of the contributors:

A. J. O., Carmel Bird, Roy Bridges, Marcus Clarke, Geoffrey Dean, Adrienne Eberhard, Henry J. Goldsmith, James Leakey, Tahune Linah, James McQueen, Hal Porter, Philomena van Rijswijk, Barney Roberts, Margaret Scott, Nicholas Shakespeare, H. W. Stewart, Tasma, Theresa Tasmania, Rachael Treasure, Price Warung, A. Werner, Rohan Wilson, Joan Wise and Danielle Wood.

'[A] beautifully presented short-story collection....Co-editor Danielle Wood does have a wonderful contemporary story in the book, portraying a sleep-deprived new mother coming to terms with the changes in her world. Wood manages to merge the contours and endlessness of Tasmania with the mother's sense of being lost to herself.' Readings Monthly
