Notes
-
Written in the form of stories by fictional character 'Roland Eye' and commentary by 'Dr Arthur Mee'.
From the cover: 'Roland Eye's superbly crafted stories are nothing but traditional-Australian: naturalistic, accurate, moving, detailed, acutely shrewd and perceptive, with a material that is drawn directly from the day-to-day life of ordinary people. Or are they? Arthur Mee begs to differ. And we find out why as soon as he embarks upon his literary critique of Eye's work: for Dr Mee is an audacious postmodernist, an avid poststructuralist...'

Epigraph: Therefore am I still
A lover of the meadows and the woods,
And mountains; and of all that we behold
From this green earth; of all the mighty world
Of eye, and ear - both what they half create,
And what perceive...
Wordsworth, 'Tintern Abbey' -
Dedication: For Helen.
