All that is solid melts into air: Australia's future?
Abstract
The task of imagining those of us who are not of Aboriginal descent into existence in this strange new land (Australia) for two hundred years, which is a very short time in world history, is both challenging and necessary. This paper explores two attempts in doing so as presented in Joseph Furphy’s Such is Life, published in 1903, and David Malouf's more recent An Imaginary Life, published in 1978.
