Paperback. 1502. 'Go west young man' has been a siren call in Australia, Canada and the US for centuries - a new frontier for them, yet already home to others for millennia. In Australia, the lure of bounty from mineral riches drew generations of fortune hunters to its western third. For some this was a stop on the road to a better place, for many a destination for new beginnings, while for those who had always lived there dislocation was inevitable. Since the 1980s Perth has become a byword for new wealth and in the first years of the 21st Century became a boom-town the likes of which Australia hasn't seen since the 1850s. There is evidence this is starting to slow, but what will be left when the boom deflates? WA is also Australia's (and perhaps the world's) largest state, most of which is a vast desert butting hard against a broiling ocean. The view, looking back east, is sceptical, looking west uncertain, with a lot of space between both. This edition will see submissions from Tim Winton to Carmen Lawrence reflecting on the unique place and perspective that is Western Australia. With the escalating pace of change in the west it is time to reappraise what makes Western Australia distinctive and how its future might unfold. Authors include: Tim Winton, Gail Jones, Brooke Davis, Carmen Lawrence, Shaun Tan, Helen Trinca, David Whish-Wilson, Ashley Hay, Kim Scott, David Carlin and many more. 2015. First edition. A very good copy. N° de réf. du vendeur 7816725

Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. Near fine condition In Australia, the lure of bounty from mineral riches has drawn generations of fortune hunters to its western third. For some this was a stop on the road to a better place, for many a destination for new beginnings, but for its original inhabitants dislocation was inevitable. In the 1980s, Perth became a byword for 'new wealth'. In the 21st century it has grown into a boomtown the likes of which Australia hasn't seen since the 1850s. There is evidence this is starting to slow, but what will be left when the mining boom is subdued? Western Australia is also huge and separated from the eastern populations by such a vast desert that it may almost be an island in its own right. This creates unique issues and perspectives which challenge the ideas and presumptions of the rest of Australia. Griffith Review 47: Looking West, co-edited by Julianne Schultz and Anna Haebich, examines booming Western Australia through essay, memoir, fiction and poetry by some of Western Australia's most exciting and innovative writers - Carmen Lawrence, David Whish-Wilson, Brooke Davis, Shaun Tan, Kim Scott, Steve Kinnane, Nick Allbrook and Tim Winton. The publication was a collaboration between Griffith Review and Curtin University. N° de réf. du vendeur 000049
