As Australia’s most decorated author for a period nearing half a century, Carey’s career gives unparalleled insights into the global contemporary publishing and the making of global literary prestige from the periphery, and significant cultural currency for Australian literature and culture worldwide. Carey’s fiction is not only a product of the global dynamic in literary publishing of the last quarter of the twentieth century, but also it holds something of its productive tension for Australian writing and writers. Allahyari retraces the fraught synthesis of an individual literary proclivity with a growing commercial cultural appetite: the coincidence of Carey’s career with the conglomeration of global publishing pushed further towards anti-elitist, popular aesthetics. Keyvan Allahyari teaches in the English and Theatre Studies Program at the University of Melbourne. He specializes in world literatures and contemporary Australian literature with a dual focus on border regimes and water imaginaries. His peer-reviewed journal articles have appeared in Journal of Postcolonial Writing, Australian Humanities Review, JASAL, and Antipodes, among others. He is currently writing a book about Abdulrazak Gurnah and the oceanic world literatures.New Directions in Book History,2634-6125Economics and literatureAustralasian literatureLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryPrintingPublishers and publishingBooksHistoryCelebritiesLiterature BusinessAustralasian LiteratureContemporary LiteraturePrinting and PublishingHistory of the BookCelebrity StudiesEconomics and literature.Australasian literature.Literature, Modern20th century.Literature, Modern21st century.Printing.Publishers and publishing.BooksHistory.Celebrities.Literature Business.Australasian Literature.Contemporary Literature.Printing and Publishing.History of the Book.Celebrity Studies.823.914823.914Allahyari Keyvan1354505MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910686475003321Peter Carey3334638UNINA
