STOW, (Julian) Randolph

STOW, (Julian) Randolph
(1935-)
   Australian writer whose novels tend to embed deeply alienated protagonists into venues - some remote-which are described with anthropological precision, resulting in tales, whether non-genre or sf/fantasy, that verge constantly upon fable. In Tourmaline (1963) the venue is a decaying town in backwoods Australia and the time the NEAR FUTURE; the narrative is loaded with echoes of myth and forebodings. The 5protagonists of Visitants (1979), set in Papua, supply a mosaic of responses to a First-Contact experience in a manner that remotely prefigures the strategies underlying Karen Joy FOWLER's SARAH CANARY (1991).

   Other works: Midnite: The Story of a Wild Colonial Boy (1967); The Girl Green as Elderflower (1980).
