Synopsis

A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout:\nA central concern of the 38 essays is the significance and fullness of the self when it is partly also the Other. They were presented at the November 1989 symposium Literature in Asia and the Pacific Region by writers, critics, and scholars from the region and the US and Britain. The topics include Mudreero Narogin's Dalwurra, the invention of identity in Singapore poetry in English and Chinese, reading the feminism in Arthurian romances, and the somnambulist careening around the crater.

About this title

Synopsis

The essays in this book were originally delivered as papers for a symposium held in Singapore. Thirty-six writers, critics, novelist, scholars and poets from Southeast Asia and Australia talk about their work and grapple with issues such as 'the other and I', the sense of being torn in two cultures, the loss of innocence and tradition, the re-creation of meaning and many others. The themes covered in the book should interest students of anthropology, sociology, English and Asian Literature.
