The Interrogation of Ashala Wolf by Ambelin Kwaymullina

4.0

A brilliant parable about selfhood and Alterity that draws on a particularly Australian set of Intertextual signifiers. It weaves together the post apocalyptic dystopia familiar from the Obernewtyn world, but tempers it with stories drawn from the Dreaming and also with contemporary political discourse that alludes to the Stolen Generations, the Northern Territory Intervention, and Australia's horrific treatment of refugees. There is a lot in this book that will be lost on people who are not familiar with Australia's Black history.
