Abstract

Read online

Along the lines of the so­called multicultural discourse and socio­political milieu in Australia, the article is concerned with Adam Fiala’s literary and non­literary imageries of Australia and also deals with the relation of Fiala’s poetic and prose themes to various realities of Australia. Given that Australia as a host country determines/influences writers’ life and work, the article seeks to discover possible spaces in which the Polish writer­migrant/his work and his characters/narrators/voices are positioned (and/or positioning themselves) to function and/or to domesticate Australia. Both the Polish writer­migrant’s life in Australia and his literary scenarios are explained with some thought of migrancy and migrant/border narrative’ notions.
