Notes

  • Introduction. 'We were asked, however, to encourage new or little-published writers, since the object of the book was to advance the art of the short story in Australia....A significant feature of the stories was the almost complete absence of the grim, rural, Australian scene and theme....Dad and Dave obviously no longer intrigue the Australian writer, a matter of no real concern. We noted with disappointment, nevertheless, the general lack of humour.' Oscar Mendelsohn Harry Marks. January 1973.
