Kneen's writing, a literary tribute to her late grandmother Dragitca (Dragica Marušič), shows a desire to come to terms with her partly "Slovenian" gut microbiome and DNA, as she herself claims. They, in her view, along with the other elements in the process of identity formation, interestingly importantly help to constitute an ethnic iden-tity and, for that matter, any personal identity. This makes her writing very original within the extant diasporic literary productionČlanek prvikrat obravnava pisanje sodobne avstralske pisateljice Krissy Kneen, ki ima slovenske korenine. Tovrstno pisanje, književni poklon njeni pokojni babici Dragici Marušič (znani kot Lotty Kneen), kaže, da se želi sprijazniti s svojim slovenskim mikrobiomom in DNK.
