  • Janice Shaw

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The author discusses Australian writer Frank Moorhouse's exploration of the crafting of literature and the writer's function through the use of the detective genre in 'Lateshows'. He contrasts the whodunit as an authorcentric and -dominated form with the discontinuous narrative, in which forms such as the short story and autobiography are interrelated.
