Australia: The New New World

Granta has dedicated its Summer 2000 issue of the Magazine of New Writing to Australia. The natural beauties of Australia have made it a favourite tourist destination and the millennium Olympic Games have put the country more than ever in the focus of worldwide attention, but how much does the West know about Australians? The editors have given space to two photographers, David Moore and Polly Borland, next to writers such as Peter Carey, David Malouf, Thomas Keneally and Robyn Davidson. In a quest for the Australian spirit, this collection is certainly something to start off with.
