Cover of Australian short fiction

In this first extended study of Australian short fiction, Bruce Bennett adopts Christina Stead's metaphor of an ocean of story to suggest the universality of story-telling and the marks it leaves for posterity. Bennett's study stresses the range and depth of the short prose narrative in Australia.
