'Taken as a whole, criticism on Thomas Keneally reveals as much about the Australian critical climate and Australian culture as it does the writer himself. A close examination of the critical tendency reveals how the obsessive insistence on “Australian” writing has rendered critics unable and unwilling to probe deeper into the themes of Keneally’s novels, and how critics’ eagerness to establish and define a unique Australian identity has led to their “making and unmaking” of an internationally renowned writer.'
