A Season in New South Wales

The narrative captures a transformative journey through Australia in 1989, where the author taught American Literature on a Fulbright Grant and explored the rich tapestry of Australian literature and culture. Experiences range from encountering wildlife like koalas and kangaroos to gold fossicking and traveling to China, where they lectured amid political tension. A subsequent visit reveals a significantly changed Australia, yet the author's admiration for the country endures, highlighting its enduring beauty and complexity.
