the american dream included in best australian stories 2004
 

 


i.j.oog's the american dream has been included in best australian stories 2004 edited by frank moorhouse and published by black inc

according to frank moorhouse it is "a fine story .... a fascinating and artful use of the story form..." - luminaries such as amanda lohrey and marion halligan contributed to last year's best australian stories which was edited by peter craven

reportedly oog was worried that perhaps moorhouse was extracting a terrible revenge on australian writers for the debacle in 2001 (when he was told in error that he had won the victorian premier's literary awards) by sending them letters telling them they had been included in best australian stories 2004 only to send them another letter later saying it wasn't true and ha ha now you know how i felt

oog has taken the american dream offline in order to support the publishers of wwww15 (for which it had previously been accepted) and best australian stories 2004 but everything else is almost as good and it's still there
