Ted Dawe

Into the River (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

You can fault aspects of Into the River. The Rural Maori Boy Comes to Pakeha City motif is incipiently cliched. The writing can be lush; characters declaim rather a lot, and the author explains rather a lot. But the urgency and integrity are undeniable. Colin McCahon wrote once about not wanting any refinement of style to moderate the intensity of his content, and you can see a good deal of that in Dawe's memorable book.
