Southern Land, Hardened Heart: the possibility of Australian Neon Noir

Przewloka, Christopher (2016) Southern Land, Hardened Heart: the possibility of Australian Neon Noir. PhD by Creative Works, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This creative-based project discussed the potential of neon noir writing in Australia—a hardened style of crime fiction that investigates the dark underbelly of society. The craft-based research outlined how such fiction could be localised to examine our distinct history, culture, and politics. The associated creative work, a neon noir novel set in regional Queensland during the height of governmental corruption, was created in direct response to the discoveries of this research.
