Paperback. Zustand: Good. 186 pages. Cover wornFrom Publishers Weekly Midge Cochrane, New Zealander, divorced and unemploy ed, speaks for and to himself throughout this claustrophobic account of emotiona l disintegration: I'm in a pit and Midge isn't strong enough to pull himself ou t. Vibrant descriptions of nature and its menace--We might look clean and gree n if you live your life in Tokyo or London but the poisons are there just below the surface of appearance--are a writing van Gogh's. Midge's ex-wife's postcard s from Europe celebrate her freedom, his present relationship is drab, his best friend is killed in an auto accident and his move to Aukland with a new love app ears to be doomed by his increasing distance from reality. This is a keen portra yal of the helplessness of a man's intelligence and culture before his inner dem ons. The language is rich, the references to travel, art and literature are thos e of someone you'd like to know if you could stand it. Haley is coeditor of The Penguin Book of Contemporary New Zealand Short Stories. Copyright 1991 Reed Busi ness Information, Inc. Artikel-Nr. 2685i
