'These selected essays on Canadian, Australian and New Zealand literatures often, although not always, consider individual texts and literary authors within the postcolonial paradigm. They discuss some of the most prominent, mostly contemporary literary authors in these genres, including, for example, Margaret Attwood, C. K. Stead, Christopher Kosh, David Malouf, Richard Flanagan, Andrew Riemer, Ouyang Yu, A. D. Hope, Teju Cole from the USA, and others. Several studies focus on significant issues in recent diasporic and transcultural writing in English, including specific Slovenian literary production, while some of the essays examine the literary representations of a country in a particular national collective consciousness.'
