— Appears in: Imaginary Antipodes : Essays on Contemporary Australian Literature and Culture 2011; (p. 129-142)
In this chapter, West-Pavlov shows 'how David Martin's autobiographical fictions Fox on My Door (1987) and My Strange Friend (1991) hollow out possible origins of their stories, building a political ethics upon the absence of a moment or site of originary belonging. What emerge instead are networks of contingent, politicized and ethical relationships...' (From author's introduction, 13)
