Opening the Gates of Hell : Regional Emergences in Carpentaria and Dreamhunter,
single work
criticism
'This essay presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary writers from Australia and New Zealand to argue for their shared secession from the category of nation. The texts in question, Australian writer Alexis Wright's Carpentaria (2006) and New Zealand writer Elizabeth Knox'es cotemporaneous duet Dreamhunter (2005) and Dreamquake (2007), rehearse this secession by replacing the now evacuated space of nation with the space of region. This essay will demonstrate how this regional space constitutes an emergence from colonial topographies of inhabitation.' (66)
