Alzo David-West | Unfamiliar People' is about defamiliarisation and estrangement. The title is a literal translation of the Korean word for 'strangers'. KSSR is the former name of Kazakhstan (Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, 1936-1991). |
Wendy Jones Nakanishi | A Trip to Singapore describes a clash of cultures and illustrates the curious paradox that by encountering 'the other' we can find ourselves. |
Stephen Orr | The Pyap School is based on a real incident (which didn't happen in the South Australian Riverland, although Daisy Bates did live for a time camped along the Murray at Pyap). Bates was always a controversial figure in Australian history, but also admired by thousands prior to her death. As she aged, two junior officers were sent to bring her to town to 'seek help', as many believed she was becoming unstable. This is an imagined exchange between Bates and two officers sent to fetch her. |
Kelly Quinn | December 25th is not a holiday in Japan and usually I spend the day in meetings – in fact, it doesn't feel like Christmas unless I am sitting around a formica table, sipping green tea and discussing enrolment and budget issues with my colleagues. |
Kathleen M. Steele | Sticks and Stoneswas inspired in part by the power of words and the passive aggression of silence. |
Emily Sun | How to Read Shakespeare while Duck-sitting in Outer Suburbia I originally wrote this as a Prologue to a series of three short stories that are part of my dissertation which looks at the cultural capital of reading in contemporary Perth. |
