Oh Lucky Country (Paese fortunato) uses first-person point of view
to inflate migrant oppression to such absurdist proportions that
its swirling narrative boils over into a maelstrom, washing away
all migrant clichés. It is a witty, tragi-comic view of Australian
society, culture and prejudice. This new edition of Oh Lucky
Country, with introductions by Nicole Moore and Gaetano Rando, is a
part of the Australian Classics Library series intended to make
classic texts of Australian literature more widely available for
the secondary school and undergraduate university classroom, and to
the general reader. The series is co-edited by Emeritus Professor
Bruce Bennett of the University of New South Wales and Professor
Robert Dixon, Professor of Australian Literature at the University
of Sydney, in conjunction with SETIS, Sydney University Press,
AustLit and the Copyright Agency Limited. Each text is accompanied
by a fresh scholarly introduction and a basic editorial apparatus
drawn from the resources of AustLit. Rosa Cappiello was born in
Naples, Italy, in 1942. She migrated to Australia in 1971 with no
knowledge of English and no skills and worked in various manual
occupations. She published her first novel, I semi negri (The Black
Seeds) in 1977 in Italy. In 1982, she was writer-in-residence at
the University of Wollongong. She died in 2008 in Italy.
