    'From one of Australia's most celebrated writers comes eleven stories about the complexities of life and love; of looking back and longing; of what it means to be a stranger, on foreign ground and known, told with the piercing familiarity and resonance we have come to expect from Helen Garner. Remarkably honest, often very funny and always woven in ways that surprise, these stories tease out everyday life to show the darkness underneath - but also the possibilities of joy.'

Works about this Work

The Collective Monologue : Studies of the Transitivity in The Dark, The Light by Helen Garner Yan Hua , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Journal of Xihua University , August vol. 30 no. 4 2011; (p. 71-74) 'The short story The Dark, the light written by Australian writer, Helen Gamer, is found to be a literary discourse with many potential meanings thoroughly and subtly realized by means of the multi-functions of discourse such as the transitivity of verbs, which is a major focus of this study. The studies is carried out with an effort, and also a purpose, to integrate literary critical theories and discourse analysis so that both approaches will prove and support each other for a more comprehensive and objective understanding of literary works.' (Publication abstract)
