Abstract

The article compares figurations of the Canadian island of Newfoundland with those of the Australian island of Tasmania through close analysis of two significant contemporary novels. It argues that E. Annie Proulx's "The Shipping News" and Richard Flanagan's "Death of a River Guide" construct Newfoundland and Tasmania as havens from the disorienting effects of postmodernism.
