- Maria_Takolander abstract "Maria Takolander, born in Melbourne in 1973, is an Australian writer. She is a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing and Literary Studies at Deakin University, Geelong, Victoria.Takolander is the author of four books: a work of fiction, The Double (Text, 2013); a book of literary criticism, Catching Butterflies: Bringing Magical Realism to Ground (Peter Lang, 2007); and two collections of poems, Ghostly Subjects (Salt, 2009) and The End of the World (Giramondo, forthcoming). Takolander won the inaugural 2010 Australian Book Review short story competition, and she was awarded a 2011 Australia Council New Work grant to complete a subsequent book of short stories, The Double. Ghostly Subjects was short-listed for a 2010 Queensland Premier's Literary Prize. Takolander's short stories, poems and essays have been widely published in Australian journals and newspapers. Her poems have also been featured in The Best Australian Poems 2005 (Black Inc), The Best Australian Poetry 2006 (UQP), The Best Australian Poems 2007 (Black Inc), The Best Australian Poems 2008 (Black Inc), The Best Australian Poems 2009 (Black Inc), The Best Australian Poetry 2009 (UQP), The Best Australian Poems 2010 (Black Inc), The Best Australian Poems 2011 (Black Inc), The Best Australian Poems 2012 (Black Inc) and The Best Australian Poems 2013. Her poetry is also included in the 2011 anthology Thirty Australian Poets (UQP).Takolander is married to the Australian poet and critic David McCooey.The poetry critic Martin Duwell has written of her poetry: "Takolander, as well as being an exciting new poet, also writes in what might be thought of as a branch line of the minimalist tradition... it is always a treat to read poems of a consistently high quality written by a young Australian poet which sound so unlike the poems of other young Australian poets."Geordie Williamson, the chief literary critic at The Australian, has written of The Double: "Takolander, though immured in the same darkling stuff as Plath, always remains in command. Hers are a series of thought experiments in which enduring Western narratives are recast according to the author's imaginative and philosophical inclinations. The results are fiercely intelligent and idiosyncratic, sometimes shot through with black humour, sometimes pressing down on the reader with the full weight of human horror...Individually, Takolander's stories can be bleak. But collectively they are thrilling. Slender as this collection may be, it announces the arrival of a considerable talent.". The Double has also been reviewed in The Age, Canberra Times, Brisbane Times, Sydney Morning Herald, The West Australian, The Herald Sun, The Melbourne Review, Australian Bookseller and Publisher, Otago Daily Times, ANZ Litlovers and Readings.".
