On Thomas Keneally: Writers on Writers

Stan Grant

Keneally’s caricature of a self-loathing JimA mie Blacksmith is a lost opportunity to explore the complex ways that Aboriginal people aEURO| were pushing against a white world that would not accept them for who they were; that would not see them as equal; that, in truth, would not see them as human.‘ Acclaimed journalist Stan Grant weaves literary criticism, philosophy and memoir to shed light on The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith. Drawing parallels with Indigenous writers Tara June Winch and Bruce Pascoe, Grant brilliantly re-examines Keneally’s novel, raising questions about identity, modernity and storytelling. In the Writers on Writers series, leading authors reflect on an Australian writer who has inspired and fascinated them. Provocative and crisp, these books start a fresh conversation between past and present, shed new light on the craft of writing, and introduce some intriguing and talented authors and their work. Published by Black Inc. in association with the University of Melbourne and State Library Victoria.
