FROM THE PUBLISHER-Representing the author's writing over the last ten years, TE KAIHAU-THE WINDEATER is a richly varied collection of stories by the author of the highly-acclaimed novel, THE BONE PEOPLE, winner of the 1985 Booker Prize. An author of Maori descent, Ken Hulme has brought the foreign and melodic traditions of that culture and language to an international audience, seen here in ‘He Tauware Kawa, He Kawa Tauware' and ‘Te Kaihau The Windeater. ' Other stories concern the mysteries of the natural world, the strong ties that bind families together, and a sense of inevitable loss. The story ‘Hooks and Feelers, ' which portrays a mother who has inadvertently maimed her son, won the Katherine Mansfield Award and has been made into a television play. Throughout, she experiments with language and the components of style, and she reveals herself a writer of sympathy, deftness, and extreme virtuosity. TE KAIHAU-THE WINDEATER is ‘rich in language and ideas and a must for all who are interested in the development of New Zealand literature' (Herald-Tribune). inventory #7764.
