  • Terminally Poetic

    by Ouyang Yu ...

A book to climb up in love with.' - Steve Brock'Terminally Poetic is Ouyang Yu working through the colonial ... Read more

  • All the Rivers Run South

    by Ouyang Yu ...

This digressive, almost hallucinatory narrative unites Ouyang Yu’s abiding obsessions: identity, history, cultural hypocrisy, race, the nature of storytelling.

  • Foreign Matter & Other Poems

    by Ouyang Yu ...
    'Ouyang Yu's Foreign Matter rages against the vacuity of suburban life, alert to every racist slight, with a linguistic playfulness that shuffles and bounces through English language via the "gibberish keyings of an irrelevant computer". Here Australia is often depicted as an unabashed identity-less dystopia, a volatile yet bland melting-pot of adopted and imported cultures, a "prisonful" of ... Read more
