Description
Summary:This article focuses particularly upon David Malouf's novel Remembering Babylon as it examines Malouf as a spiritual writer whose works explore the liminality of space in Australia and the boundaries between worlds, both real and literary. The article moves between the classical studies of John Keble and the philosophy of Martin Heidegger to establish the place of the sacramental in Malouf's writings, a novelist and poet who bears comparison with the French poet Yves Bonnefoy.
