    About the Book

    Edit

    Have you ever wondered what might have happened if someone else had colonised Australia? Neverland probes the veneer of Australian identity to find a deep yearning for an alternative nationhood – if only Australia was compassionate like Sweden, as cultured as France, spiritual in the Russian style, enjoyed the Japanese reverence for nature, or had accepted Aboriginal sovereignty from the beginning.



    Neverland uncovers the exotic elements of Australian culture, including Tasmania’s King of Iceland, Australian Shinto, the suburban Dostoevsky, Israel of the Kimberleys, the Bektashi backyard, the Aussie bossa nova, Balanda dreaming and Calcutta tram songs. What emerges is a strange and stimulating cosmopolitan hybrid that Australia might have been … and may still!

    Though real and magical detours, Neverland reveals lateral approaches to issues of reconciliation and xenophobia, before ‘passing the pipe’ to other Australian writers – inviting them each to give their own vision, dream or alternate history if Australia hadn’t been colonised by the British.
