Abstract
HARRIET CHANDLER is a fictional biography, a hybrid text that dwells on textuality, meditates on intertextuality. Chandler first appeared as a minor character in Murray Bail's 1987 novel "Holden's Performance".
Harriet Chandler is a remarkable character: a victim of Australia’s 1930s–1940s polio epidemics, she has a house, drives a car, runs a freelance career as a visual artist, and conducts lone protests against the Queen’s visit and a Miss Australia quest held in Manly’s Epic Theatre.
This is her back and forward story.
