HALL, Rodney

HALL, Rodney
(1935-)
   Australian poet and writer, Chairperson since 1991 of the Australia Council, a body responsible for government arts policy and funding. His long, vivid, humorous, baroque fourth novel, Kisses of the Enemy (1987), is set in the NEAR FUTURE in an Australia now a republic. Acampaign of cultural subversion unsettles a nation that has hitherto offered little resistance to its rape by foreign opportunists. Several of his other novels - including Just Relations (1982), The Second Bridegroom (1989) and The Grisly Wife (1993)- contain fantasy elements.
