Abstract
Unlike a number of contemporary Australian novelists (Thomas Keneally, for example, or David Malouf), David Ireland always uses Australia as a frame for his work: his fiction is never set anywhere else. In constructs communities which operate within that frame in various ways, allowing Ireland to suggest through them was "Australia" might be.
