A fascinating insight into a major Australian novelist�s development, this collection of pieces employs the memoir as springboard, presenting us with reflections on literature and an analysis of Australia�s changing place in the world over the author�s lifetime - a lifetime stretching from the British Empire of his childhood to the post-colonial present. �Crossing the Gap�, the title piece of the collection, has a particular topical interest, dealing as it does with the shift from Empire to a new Asia-Pacific consciousness.
