This chapter offers a close reading of two eco-novels which I define as part of the Australian regional literary tradition that interrogates the inner lives and conflicts of Australians living in regional and rural areas. The first of these is Jennifer Mills’ Dyschronia (2018): a speculative novel which emphasises the post-industrial degradation of an Australian regional town through its depiction of what I term the “abiotic nonhuman” (in this case, a monstrous plaster sculpture of a squid and products of the asphalt industry) and its subversion of settler understandings of climate catastrophe. Dyschronia depicts the experiences of white, non-Indigenous Australians in an environmentally and economically devastated coastal town, suggesting that a lack of meaningful connection between settler-Australians and the nonhuman results in ecological crisis and a deep, irreversible disturbance of settler-colonial notions of home and livelihood. Similarly, Yumna Kassab’s Australiana (2022) portrays another regional Australian “everytown” upset by ecocatastrophe, this time in the form of extreme drought, and emphasises the role of nonhuman objects such as stones, wool and agricultural equipment in both validating and unsettling different communities’ connection to place. Whilst exploring similar themes to Mills’ novel, I argue that Australiana unsettles regional Australian settler narratives of belonging via both a parody of said narratives and the use of entangled storytelling practices.
