“The essays collected in this book discuss the work of many of Australia’s best novelists in the second half of the twentieth century and also introduce a representative variety of present-day criticism.
The chief aim of Australian Postwar Novelists is to provide useful discussions of novels and novelists through a representative display of Australian criticism in a variety of forms, ranging from reviews written soon after works first appeared to considered, scholarly criticism.  Some of the critics are well established in their fields, others are less well known.  With one exception the critics are Australians either by birth or by residence and the essays were published in local journals.”
