'Keneally’s works and the criticism on them have generated quite a number of controversial issues. In the 1960s and 1970s, challenges were presented in a seemingly gracious manner, constructive in a way in that Keneally later adopted some of the suggestions in his writing and that discussions on subjects deeply imbedded in the Australian imagination were meaningful in themselves. However, since the 1980s and in the 1990s especially, critics no longer associated Keneally with the great “Australian” concerns such as displacement and colonial memory, on the understanding that Keneally was simply too international to be of any “Australian” value, and too commercial to be a focus of highbrow criticism.'
