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.
