There are two main issues that are tricky with this novel, its form and its content.
I have now read that essay too, so I am going to write a second post on Cosmo – too! Cosmo is a very different novel and I didn’t grapple at all well with its tricky themes.īill has, in fact, written twice about Cosmo cosmolino, his second drawing from Tegan Bennett Daylight’s essay in Reading like an Australian writer (edited by Belinda Castles). I don’t blame him because, while I loved reading the novel, my own review written early in this blog is less than wonderful. It’s one of the novels Garner was writing during the period covered by these diaries, and Bill had struggled with it. Commenting on my post on Helen Garner’s One day I’ll remember this, Bill ( The Australian Legend) wrote that he’d hoped I’d mention Cosmo cosmolino (1992).
