AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Corbett examines the concept of cartography in Do You Love Me?, a short story written by Peter Carey in 1975. She contends that the way the story uses science fiction elements is central to its suggestive exploration of Australian identity and history, especially perhaps for non-Indigenous people. She hopes to show some aspects of how extraordinarily compressed this story is and what a complex emulsion of genres is used for effect.' (Publication summary)
