A faux review of "The Cambridge Companion to Australian Literature", posted at Amazon in 2009.
Australian
literature? What do you mean, matie? There's no such thing as Australian
literature.
The hissing of a taipan? The bark of a thylacine? The sneeze of a bunyip? That's literature?
Next, you gonna tell me that the lyrics of Kylie Minogue is literature. There's a reason they sent your ancestors to Botany Bay, mate. I mean, they couldn't tell the difference between Shakespeare and the rugby results!
And mate, next year, you might consider finally becoming a REPUBLIC.
:D
