Abstract	This thesis is the first extensive study of Brian Castro's work as an oeuvre. It seeks to draw out the impetus behind Castro's writing, to elucidate the subjects that he is concerned with and the techniques he employs, and to place him as a writer within the contemporary Australian novel tradition. The thesis is built around close reading of Castro's first six novels, reading of secondary sources where these directly influence the novels or Castro's methods, research into Castro's literary papers held in the Mitchell Library in Sydney and the Australian Defence Force Academy in Canberra, and correspondence and an interview with Brian Castro.
