Ausfag here, can anyone recommend some Australian literature that's any good? We are probably the least Veeky Forums country there is.

But you're fucking BASED for the way you're dealing with muslim immigrants.

Keep fighting the good fight, brother. Your an inspiration and an example

>Least Veeky Forums country there is

That's Brazil. Specially since we're right next to Argentina.

Might want to hold that praise because I live in Melbourne and it's as cucked as any "multicultural" European city.

Sorry mate but you swapped good weather for culture. We'll leave the surfing to you and you leave lit to us.

The usual banjo Patterson and henry lawson. But honestly that isn't all that relatable to a lot of people. Most of the people I knows parents weren't born here. Inb4 mud skin, I'm am Anglo

If you are a working class grub such as myself chopper reids first 4 books are good for a laugh. Gives you insight about unionism, crime, a whole lot of taboo shit

But to answer your question, no, not really, because I don't go to uni I can't even read literature at a library, have to buy it from the Internet

My American GF on arriving in Sydney: This is like being in Hong Kong

I think it's certain suburbs, went of the casino, only Anglo there

Stayed at a certain Sydney Uni dorm, didn't see one non Anglo

I'm a 6th generation Aussie descended straight from Van Diemen's Land so I do identify with those poems. Winton too I guess, but looking for more obscure stuff.

>when you succesfully derail threads in order to get Veeky Forums to condemn multiculturalism and immigrants

I think the convict population combined with the hard living of early Australian didn't make writers a common thing in early Australia

Keeping in mind what I said before I'm probably not the best person to discuss this with because I dont strongly identity with the niche Australian culture that would have to be addressed to be considered literature

I have seen a similar thread to this before and people have thrown out a few more recent Australian authors, but after giving them a look I didn't find anything stunning about them

There's me

I don't even thinks it's a derail. It's such an big issue in Australia not necessarily because of a racist attitude of some people or from the poor behaviour of some immigrants but how immigration has had a huge impact on this country. From the Brits and Irish in the 60's, the Vietnamese in the 70's, and the bunch of other yugo and Arabs to eventually the Chinese now

Immigration has had the biggest lasting influence in Australia out of any first world country, if someone were to write a contemporary piece of Australiana if would have to have immigrants somewhere in it

As long as we stay 90% White it's fine.

'Jasper Jones' I loved that book. Has a really homely Australian feel to it which is nice

Peter Carey
Richard Flanagan
Patrick White
Gerald Murnane
partly J. M. Coetzee since he gained Australian citizenship

All these guys are amazing writers

John A. Scott.

I always thought Chopper Read was a character until I saw this a few weeks ago:
