'In this paper we argue that there are many ways in which history is embedded in a
country's fiction—many of them offering questions rather than answers about a
country's creative practices. In Vietnam it seems inevitable that the war against
America and her allies would shape the nation's creative writing. But is this the case?
And what of the ways in which later generations have reacted to the war? In Vietnam
and Australia this shared history has played out differently, not least in a postmemory
dialogue between a generation who remembers too much and a generation who
remembers too little.' (Author's abstract)
