| pubs.rights-statement | This portfolio consists of three essays on the topic of writers reading - ‘The Tower’ (3800 words) and ‘Introduction’ (1100 words) and ‘Trapped in a story: metafiction’ (1200 words) Research background This research is in the field of creative writing. Junot Diaz argues that the act of reading is a fundamental requirement for creativity. Antonia Fraser has demonstrated that reading literary fiction played an important role in the development of her craft. Rebecca Mead notes that the rereading of a single text can provide an ongoing and lifelong inspiration for a creative writer. The research question for this folio is: what metaphor best suits the relationship of a creative writer with previous writers? Research contribution This research argues that the metaphor of a conversation is a powerful one for understanding the relationship between a creative writer and previous writers. It insists that writers must listen to the voices of previous writers, but must not allow them to silence their own voice – a conversation takes place between two agents. Research significance ‘The Tower’ and ‘Introduction’ appeared in The Simple Act of Reading published by Random House and launched at the Sydney Writers’ Festival; it was published to support the literacy program of the charity the Sydney Story Factory. The Sydney Morning Herald reviewer said: ‘This book, with its many affirmations and declarations, is pretty close to being archaeological and doctrinal proof of the personally transubstantive act that is reading’. | en_US |

| pubs.rights-statement | Research background: in this portfolio Debra Adelaide writes about the process and importance of reading. The Women’s Pages is a metafictional novel about women, work and relationships. The short story Ministry of Reading presents a thought-experiment asking: what would happen if as with a Ministry of Finance, there were a ministry devoted to reading? The portfolio also includes three essays on the topic of writers reading - ‘The Tower’ ‘Trapped in a story: metafiction’ and ‘Introduction’. Research contribution: this portfolio of work interrogates the act of reading from a range of perspectives. The Women’s Pages performs reading as writing, emerging from and dramatizing Adelaide’s own relationship with the novel Wuthering Heights. The collection of essays on reading looks at different ways to conceptualise the relationship between reading and writing, and finally argues that the metaphor of a conversation is a powerful one for understanding the relationship between a creative writer and previous writers. It insists that writers must listen to the voices of previous writers, but must not allow them to silence their own voice. Research significance: The Women’s Pages is published by Picador Australia was reviewed in the Guardian (‘tender, wise and extraordinary reading’) and was longlisted for the 2016 Stella Prize. The essays on reading were published in collections published by Random House among other venues, and reviewed in the Sydney Morning Herald (‘archaeological and doctrinal proof of the personally transubstantive act that is reading’). | en_US |
