Coinciding with the popular grunge music of the early 1990s, grunge literature was jaded, anti-authoritarian and rage-filled, but retained an element of humour.

Key Points: 
  • Coinciding with the popular grunge music of the early 1990s, grunge literature was jaded, anti-authoritarian and rage-filled, but retained an element of humour.
  • Review: Immaculate – Anna McGahan (Allen & Unwin) Immaculate is the first novel by McGahan’s niece, Anna McGahan, and this year’s winner of the Vogel Award for writers under 35.
  • They return to the cheap boarding houses dotted throughout Brisbane’s inner-city suburb of New Farm, where much of Praise took place.
  • Frances’s life is now just an echo of the real, the numbness with which she moves through the world reminiscent of the literary interests of the grunge.

Narrative in tatters

    • Even the structure of the narrative itself is in tatters.
    • Mary is the name adopted by 16-year-old Penelope, who has suffered horrific abuse and is now pregnant and alone.
    • The narrative mode creates a sense of authenticity and veracity, making readers privy to factual evidence from which they can form their impressions.
    • Like epistolary narrative, verbatim theatre aims to bring the authenticity of lived experience to a story.

A dreamlike fantasy world

    • This is the other side of Immaculate’s emphasis on the real: a dreamlike, fantasy world, which somehow exists within a shared consciousness of several of the characters.
    • The magical-realist space offers the characters a way of healing their real-life traumas through a deeper understanding of their individual fears and desires.
    • Traces of this dream world remain in the real world, making it impossible to write off this part of the story as illusion or hallucination.
    • Ultimately, the fairy-tale world is a way for Frances, Mary, Glenda, Jasper and others to accept the “brutal truth”.
