Australian Fugue: The Antipode Room

Contrapuntal polyphony, heteroglossia and dialogism are amongst the centrifugal devices used to narrate this story through a choir of many voices, from an amnesiac art dealer in London to a post punk artist in Sydney, by way of an eccentrically besotted member of the British aristocracy, and a haunting lost violinist. Australian Fugue, and its two sub parts, of obsessive examination, to follow, under or over, ahead or behind: Missing, and Sayonara Baby, the whole an exploration of the borders of memory, memoir, dream, and solipsism, as Ruby writes to break free of some strange spell or bewitchment cast upon her by unknown forces, long ago in the future unknown. There is only one way and that is to keep going, down and out, or up and over. To prove her innocence, and escape this state of fugue in the Antipode Room.
