A Strange Beautiful Excitement by Yska, Redmer
ISBN: 9780947522544 PUBLISHER: Otago University Press FORMAT: Hardback PAGES: 224 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.10.2017 DIMENSIONS: 20 x 15 centimetres
DESCRIPTION: How does a city make a writer? Described by Fiona Kidman as a ravishing, immersing read, A Strange Beautiful Excitement is a wild ride through the Wellington of Katherine Mansfields childhood. From the grubby, windblasted streets of Thorndon to the hushed green valley of Karori, author Redmer Yska, himself raised in Karori, retraces Mansfields old ground: the sights, sounds and smells of the rickety colonial capital, as experienced by the budding writer. Along the way his encounters and dogged research into her Beauchamp ancestry, the social landscape, the festering, deadly surroundings lead him (and us) to reevaluate longheld conclusions about the writers shaping years. They also lead to a thrilling discovery. This haunting and beautifully vivid book combines fact and fiction, biography and memoir, as Yska rediscovers Mansfields Wellington, unearthing her childhood as he goes, shining a new lamp on old territory.
