The article argues that Annie Proulx's The Shipping News and Flanagan's Death of a River Guide 'construct Newfoundland and Tasmania as havens from the disorienting effects of postmodernism', and investigates 'how the two narratives bring their misfit protagonists back to the islands of their forefathers to undergo a traumatic but effective "process" of homecoming' (93).
