Wiradjuri woman, Anita Heiss, is arguably one of the first
Aboriginal Australian authors of popular fiction. A focus on the
political characterises her chick lit; and her identity as an
author is both supplemented and complemented by her roles as an
academic, activist and public intellectual. Heiss has discussed
genre as a means of targeting audiences that may be less engaged
with Indigenous affairs, and positions her novels as educative but
not didactic. Her readership is constituted by committed readers of
romance and chick lit as well as politically engaged readers that
are attracted to Heiss' dual authorial persona; and, both groups
bring radically distinct expectations to bear on these texts.
Through analysis of online reviews and surveys conducted with users
of the book reviewing website Goodreads, I complicate the
understanding of genre as a cogent interpretative frame, and deploy
this discussion to explore the social significance of Heiss'
literature.
