Review of The Experimental Fiction of Murray Bail by Michael Ackland
Abstract
The Experimental Fiction of Murray Bail by Michael Ackland is the first book-length publication to explore Bail's writing, and makes a welcome addition to the study of literature in Australia. As Bail is an author renowned for the length of time between his publications—his entire output over some forty years consisting of two short fiction collections, four novels, a handful of uncollected stories and a biography of the painter Ian Fairweather—Ackland is able to devote considerable space to each of Bail's texts in away not possible with more prolific authors.
