# The Big Fellow (novel)

The Big Fellow (1959) is the last novel by Australian author Vance Palmer. It won the 1959 Miles Franklin Award.
This is the third in the author's Golconda trilogy of novels, following Golconda (1948) and Seedtime (1957).

## Story outline

The novel continues the story of the Big Fellow, Macy Donovan, a politician in Queensland. Now 50 he is about to take over the role of Premier as the incumbent, Wardle, departs for a cosy job in London.

## Critical reception

Lisa Hill, on the ANZLitLovers Litblog was rather disappointed with the novel: "I think it might have come as a bit of a disappointment to readers lured to the title by the award. It is just not in the same class as its predecessors. ..I wouldn’t recommend spending any time hunting out a copy, but as a period piece it has some nostalgia-factor charm. Palmer’s realism is achieved with snippets that bring the 1950s to life. Brisbane still has its trams, there are porters on the railway stations, and people read books and play cards at night instead of watching the box. I felt a vague nostalgia reading about a time when a state politician could move freely around at whim without bodyguards and a media pack at heel."
In his extensive study of Vance Palmer's work Harry Hesletine stated: "It is characteristic of Palmer that he opened the last volume of the trilogy at the zenith of Donovan's career only for the sake of exploring the disappointments, frustrations, and failures which underlie his seemingly gleaming achievement...In taking Donovan back to Golconda for this insight into his future. Palmer closes The Big Fellow with a forceful reminder of its integral relation to Seedtime and Golconda: the trilogy ends where it had begun. And however wide a range of material his fascination with Australian society encouraged, however broad a span of space and time his panoramic structure demanded, he undoubtedly made of the three novels a single and unified work of art."
# Carpentaria (novel)

Carpentaria is the second novel by the Indigenous Australian author Alexis Wright. It met with widespread critical acclaim when it was published in mid-2006, and went on to win Australia's premier literary prize, the Miles Franklin Award, in mid-2007.

## Plot introduction

The novel tells the interconnected stories of several inhabitants of the fictional town of Desperance, situated on the Gulf of Carpentaria in northwest Queensland. There, the Aboriginal people of the Pricklebush clan are engaged in a number of argumentative conflicts with various enemies in the community, including the white inhabitants of Desperance, the local law enforcement and government officials, and a large multinational mining operation that has been established on their traditional sacred land. The narrative chronicles the interpersonal relationships shared between three men embroiled in these disputes: the wise, pragmatic, and blunt Normal Phantom; the nomadic, overzealous shamanic practitioner of Aboriginal traditional religion, Mozzie Fishman; and Norm's son, Will Phantom, who deserted his father's house to undertake a cross-country spiritual journey with Fishman, but who has now returned home with something of Fishman's character in him.

## Publication

At the time of publication the Australian bookstore chain Angus & Robertson decided to stock books produced by small presses only if the publishers themselves paid a requisite fee. The implication of this decision was that such publishers would be unable to afford these fees, and therefore their publications would be removed from the shelves to make room for books that were likely to achieve higher sales. Carpentaria, after having been rejected by every major Australian publisher, was eventually published by Giramondo, one of the publishing houses targeted in Angus & Robertson's campaign; therefore the most recent winner of Australia's largest literary prize would no longer be stocked in one of Australia's largest bookstore chains. This too received considerable media attention, and again boosted sales of the novel.

# The Grisly Wife

The Grisly Wife is a 1993 Miles Franklin literary award-winning novel by the Australian author Rodney Hall.
The Miles Franklin Award Judges' Report called it "a novel with a rather surprising vision."
This novel is the second book in The Yandilli Trilogy (also referred to as A Dream More Luminous Than Love), though the third to be published, following the novels Captivity Captive in 1988, and The Second Bridegroom in 1991.

## Synopsis

Catherine Byrne marries self-proclaimed prophet Muley Moloch and leaves 19th-century England with him and his eight female disciples to search for paradise on earth in the wilds of Australia. But things do not work out as planned, as a shipwreck, illness and death cause the small group to fracture.

## Critical reception

Jeff Doyle in The Canberra Times noted: "Hall is not so basic nor simplistic to provide a kind of allegorical reading of these issues under his stories. No, such a naive, perhaps crassly simple, view is the job of a reviewer bent on hinting at the multiple ideas running through the book."

## Awards

* Miles Franklin Literary Award, 1994: winner
* NBC Banjo Awards, NBC Banjo Award for Fiction, 1994: shortlisted
# The Mango Tree

The Mango Tree is a Miles Franklin Award-winning novel by Australian author Ronald McKie.

## Synopsis

The story follows the childhood of a young man, named Jamie, growing up in a country town in Australia during the early 20th century.

## Critical reception

Hope Hewitt in The Canberra Times found the author to be "an excellent reporter, quickly setting scene and then swiftly changing gear and catching the cxcitement of events moving too quickly for words. The climax of this book when the fanatic Preacher Jones goes round the bend and rampages off with a gun is a gripping piece of narrative. But good documentary and good reportage are not the same as good imaginative fiction. Their purposes are different; and in trying to concentrate as we clearly are meant to, on Jamie's development to whatever sort of person he is going to be, there needs to be a much greater selection and a different scale of proportions among the too rich material Mr McKie has to draw upon."

## Awards

* Miles Franklin Award, 1974
* Barbara Ramsden Award, 1974

## Film Adaptation

In 1977, it was adapted into a film of the same name, directed by Kevin James Dobson, from a script by Michael Pate, and featuring Gerald Fitzgerald, Robert Helpmann and Christopher Pate in the lead roles.
# The Well Dressed Explorer

The Well Dressed Explorer (1962) is a Miles Franklin Award-winning novel by Australian author Thea Astley. This novel shared the award with The Cupboard Under the Stairs by George Turner.

## Plot summary

The novel follows journalist, George Brewster, who moves from city to city, from empty love affair to empty love affair, until he dies. He is married, but faithless to his wife...and is ultimately a "pathetic figure".

## Themes

The themes of this novel are common to Astley's novels: "the hurts inflicted inadvertently and deliberately on others, the terrible shallowness underlying the inability to identify imaginatively with others, and the destruction of others and of the self by wrongly conceived actions."

## Critical reception

In The Canberra Times "M.D." noted: "The book is the portrait of one of the most unforgettable characters in Australian fiction, George Brewster. His life is traced from his boyhood in Queensland to his death as a leading journalist in Sydney. He is seen from every angle — from the inner workings of his petty, selfish mind to his social, sexual and religious relations." And concluded: "For all the surface brilliance of the prose, for all the psychological validity of the portrait, one feels that this is only another slice of life and hasn't one the right to demand from the novelist some assessment of the significance of her creation?"
Lisa Hill on the ANZLitLovers Litblog commented: "The extensive use of complex metaphor can be taxing sometimes, but is offset by her wit; her passion for exposing petty corruption, injustice and human stupidity; and her brilliant observations of people at their most banal. All these are superbly in evidence in her third novel The Well-dressed Explorer, but if you don’t like to have your brain circuits stretched by imagery used in new and challenging ways; if you’re put off by lush poetic descriptions or if you just like a what-happened-next kind of a story, then Thea Astley may not be for you."

# The Changing Light at Sandover

The Changing Light at Sandover is a 560-page epic poem by James Merrill (1926–1995). Sometimes described as a postmodern apocalyptic epic, the poem was published in three volumes from 1976 to 1980, and as one volume "with a new coda" by Atheneum (Charles Scribner's Sons) in 1982 (ISBN 978-0-689-11282-9).
Merrill made a surprising detour by incorporating extensive occult messages into his work (although a poem from the 1950s, "Voices from the Other World", was the first of his works to quote such "otherworldly" voices). With his partner David Jackson, Merrill spent more than 20 years transcribing purportedly supernatural communications during séances using a ouija board.
Merrill published his first ouija board narrative cycle in 1976, with a poem for each of the letters A through Z, calling it The Book of Ephraim. It appeared in the collection Divine Comedies (Atheneum), which won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1977.
At the time he believed he had exhausted the inspiration provided by the ouija board. The "spirits", he believed, thought otherwise, however, "ordering" Merrill to write and publish further installments, Mirabell: Books of Number in 1978 (which won the National Book Award for Poetry) and Scripts for the Pageant in 1980. The complete three-volume work, with a brief additional coda, appeared in one book titled The Changing Light at Sandover in 1982. Sandover received the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1983.
In live readings, Merrill was able to impersonate the narrating voices of (deceased) poet W. H. Auden and late friends Maya Deren and Maria Mitsotáki. He also claimed to give voice to otherworldly spirits including a first-century Jew named Ephraim, and Mirabell (a ouija board guide).
Merrill and his last partner, actor Peter Hooten, adapted the poem for a live ensemble reading at the Agassiz Theatre at Radcliffe College in 1990, a performance filmed and released as "Voices from Sandover". Acclaimed Polish actress Elżbieta Czyżewska played the role of Greek socialite Maria Mitsotáki.
Writer Alison Lurie, a longtime friend of Merrill and Jackson, described her feelings about the creative genesis of the poem in her memoir Familiar Spirits (2001).

# Leanchoil Hospital

Leanchoil Hospital was a community hospital in Forres, Moray, Scotland. It was managed by NHS Grampian.

## History

The hospital was financed by Lord Strathcona to serve the population of his native Forres and the surrounding area. It was designed by John Rhind and was named after the farm on which Strathcona had grown up with his mother. It was opened to patients in April 1892. On his death in 1914, Strathcona left a further bequest of £10,000 to the hospital. A maternity wing was added in 1940 and it joined the National Health Service in 1948.
The hospital closed temporarily in January 2011 following an electrical fault but reopened in December 2011 once extensive renovations had been completed. There were only 9 inpatient beds available after it reopened.
NHS Grampian announced in November 2018 that, as they had no means to invest, the hospital, which had already been temporarily closed two months earlier, would close permanently.

## Services

The hospital had 9 beds providing medical care, rehabilitation, assessment, palliative/terminal care, convalescence and respite care. The beds were in 4-bedded rooms which are divided into male and female wards, and there was one single palliative care suite.
# Invisible Battalion

Invisible Battalion (Ukrainian: Невидимий Батальйон, romanized: Nevydymyy Batal'yon) is a Ukrainian advocacy campaign, a sociological research group, and a civil rights project for gender equality in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

## Activities

Invisible Battalion was launched in 2015 as a sociological survey coordinated by Maria Berlinska and written by Tamara Martsenyuk, Anna Kvit and Ganna Grytsenko, National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy sociologists, on women's participation in the War in Donbass in Eastern Ukraine. The survey revealed a number of problems: Ukrainian legislation didn’t allow women to be assigned to combat positions, so they were enlisted as cooks, seamstresses, cleaners, accountants etc. while taking part in military combat operations as snipers, grenade launcher operators, reconnaissance soldiers, artillerists etc. This was done on semi-legal grounds. Thus, the majority of women who served in the war in Donbass were not enlisted officially and subsequently had no access to social or military benefits, military awards, social status, or career opportunities in the Armed Forces. With the support of Ukrainian Women's Fund and UN Women, the Invisible Battalion survey turned into an ambitious photo project: about half a hundred portraits of Ukrainian women combatants were shot and exhibited at the Ukrainian Parliament and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. In 2016 the Invisible Battalion year calendar won the Grand Prix at the National Festival of Social Advertising.
Later on, the Invisible Battalion social project turned into a full-length documentary film, Invisible Battalion: six stories of six women who were (or are) combatants at war in the East of Ukraine. Three women directors–Iryna Tsilyk, Alina Gorlova, and Svitlana Lischynska–offer female perspectives on war in the East of Ukraine.

## Accomplishment

As a result of the campaign, the pressure of society and different international organizations, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine expanded the number of military jobs available to women to 63 with Directive #292, "On expanding military jobs for soldier, sergeant, and officer staff".
