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.

Haley is coeditor of The Penguin Book of Contemporary New Zealand Short Stories. Copyright 1991 Reed Busi ness Information, Inc.…
