TE KAIHAU - THE WINDEATER by Keri Hulme

A wonderful collection of short stories from the New Zealand author of The Bone People

Reviews:

They are full of Hulme's sense of the beauty of NZ, along with her awareness of human alienation from the environment

Stories deal with dreams, a woman who accidentally injures her son, sheep herders, whales, violence & family life

All are beautifully written with real insight & awareness. Also very thought provoking

Two best stories: A Tally of the Souls of Sheep (a structural thrill - such a great story), & title story Te Kaihau/The Windeater (just really beautiful)

I loved A Drift in Dream, because it is the precursor/back story of The Bone People

Surreal, tragic collection of short stories with tremendous word play

Hulme is such a talented writer, tells a story eloquently from a variety of perspectives

Hulme is a refreshingly honest, in-tune, extremely talented writer

The stories are beautiful & shocking

This book changed my view of life - showed me the magic of life & the interconnectedness of all things
