The Online Journal of Creative Writing Edited by Donna Lee Brien (general), Philip Neilsen (poetry), and Axel Bruns (hypermedia and Webmaster) ISSN 1444-2817 24 Nov. 2001 Delicate Prose: 'Dream Stuff' by David Malouf Rhianna Boyle David Malouf. Dream Stuff Vintage, 2000. Dream Stuff is a collection of nine new short stories by Queensland's finest literary export David Malouf. In his lengthy writing career, Malouf has turned his hand to short stories, poetry, novels and three opera libretti. This short story collection contains more of what he does so well: tender portraits of people, depictions of the subtle nuances of affection and distances between them, and the wistful nostalgia that is his trademark. Although these stories largely explore domestic and personal realms, the reader is always made conscious of his characters' connection to some deeper, universal current of existence. The title of the collection comes from a story of the same name and refers to the marijuana ('the green stuff, the dream stuff') harvested in remote bushland in a story written within this story by the main character, a writer. Most of the stories contain a dream of some sort, sometimes a dream for the future, more often the nocturnal variety. This is risky, as reading about the dreams of fictional people can often be as dull as listening to those of people you know, but Malouf always handles this device with dexterity, the result being that the dreams of these characters are closer to the reader's own in their impact.

From: Australian Literary Studies Date: October 1, 2005 Author: Smith, Yvonne The study of Malouf's work-in-progress for An Imaginary Life offers insights into the author s intentions in this important second novel, first published by George Braziller in New York in 1978. The discussion will focus first on Malouf's account of the composing of the novel in late 1976; from this context the changes from draft to draft of a key passage in Part I will be examined. A brief consideration of the implications of these changes will be offered, particularly as they relate to the title of the novel which was changed only late in the piece from its working version, Letter from Pontus.

Random House Remembering Babylon by David Malouf List Price: Pages: Format: Paperback ISBN: Publisher: Vintage The questions, discussion topics, and author biography that follow are intended to enhance your group's reading of David Malouf's Remembering Babylon . We hope they will aid your understanding of a novel that presents readers with the verbal energy of a prose poem (and with some of the finest nature writing since D. H. Lawrence's), a psychological discernment worthy of Virginia Woolf, and the thematic resonance of an Australian Genesis. In the case of Remembering Babylon , the myth is that of the settling of Australia and of the fateful contact between white Europeans and black aborigines. That contactand all its tragic repercussions and missed possibilitiesis represented by the sudden appearance, in an unnamed Queensland settlement in the 1840s, of Gemmy Fairley, an English castaway who was rescued by aborigines and has lived among them for sixteen years before crossing into the territory claimed by his countrymen. With his sun-blackened face and straw-white hair, his twitching gait and few, inarticulate scraps of English, Gemmy is a confusingand increasingly suspiciousfigure to his new hosts. On a practical level, some settlers fear that Gemmy is a spy sent by the aborigines, who are thought to have massacred settlers elsewhere in the new territory. But he also represents the dread possibility that civilization, languagewhiteness itselfare qualities as provisional as their farms and tumbledown shacks. Looking at Gemmy, they find themselves wondering, "Could you lose it? Not just language but it. It." [p. 40]
