Abstract

In this article, I reflect on my creation of a digital map that plots locations from David Malouf's fiction and non-fiction. I consider the vestiges of David Malouf's past — particularly his grandparents' fruit shop and its relationship to his spiritual home at 12 Edmondstone Street — and I demonstrate how Malouf's words leave traces of his experience at these locations. Recognition of these traces requires alertness to the ways in which the past is communicated through historical registers, maps and literature. Our recognition is enhanced through a deliberate evocation of the past in our own experience of the city. My map, 'David Malouf's Brisbane', helps this to occur.
