Book Synopsis The Oxford Book of New Zealand Short Stories by : Vincent O'Sullivan
Download or read book The Oxford Book of New Zealand Short Stories written by Vincent O'Sullivan and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unknown to many readers in the United States, New Zealand enjoys a rich tradition of short fiction dating back well into the nineteenth-century. Now there is a book that brings together a wide range of these marvelous tales in one handsome, compact volume. The Oxford Book of New Zealand Short Stories brings together the new and the old, the traditional and the experimental. Nineteenth-century writing is represented by authors as Henry Lawson, Lady Barker, Clara Cheeseman and G.B. Lancaster, some of whose stories are collected here for the first time. In more recent times the genre has attracted the talents of Katherine Mansfield, Frank Sargeson, Dan Davin, Maurice Gee, Janet Frame, and Greville Texidor, all of whom are included here. A unique feature of this splendid anthology is the inclusion of works by such leading Maori writers as Patricia Grace and Witi Ihimaera (there is a helpful glossary of Maori and Samoan words in an appendix), and a whole new generation of writers, including Peter Wells and Keri Hulme. For anyone who appreciates great literature, The Oxford Book of New Zealand Short Stories will offer some fascinating surprises along with hours of good reading.

Book Synopsis Essential New Zealand Short Stories by : Owen Marshall
Download or read book Essential New Zealand Short Stories written by Owen Marshall and published by Godwit. This book was released on 2002 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential NZ Stories is a companion volume to Essential NZ Poems, edited by Edmond and Sewell, and contains 45 arresting and significant stories spanning 80 years, ranging from Katherine Mansfield and Frank Sargeson to Emily Perkins and Chad Taylor. The collection shows why short fiction has been so important in the development of our literature, and why it continues to appeal to a wide readership.The stories are not chosen as social documents, and the relationship between life in a given time and place, and the art which arises from it, is too subtle to be satisfactorily captured by the analogy of a mirror. Nevertheless, writers are always influenced by their social and physical environments, and the stories provide tangential, personalised glimpses of the journey we make as a nation.

Download or read book Telling Stories written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is a highly comprehensive assessment of the postcolonial short story since the thirty-six contributions cover most geographical areas concerned. Another important feature is that it deals not only with exclusive practitioners of the genre (Mansfield, Munro), but also with well-known novelists (Achebe, Armah, Atwood, Carey, Rushdie), so that stimulating comparisons are suggested between shorter and longer works by the same authors. In addition, the volume is of interest for the study of aspects of orality (dialect, dance rhythms, circularity and trickster figure for instance) and of the more or less conflictual relationships between the individual (character or implied author) and the community. Furthermore, the marginalized status of women emerges as another major theme, both as regards the past for white women settlers, or the present for urbanized characters, primarily in Africa and India. The reader will also have the rare pleasure of discovering Janice Kulik Keefer's “Fox,” her version of what she calls in her commentary “displaced autobiography’” or “creative non-fiction.” Lastly, an extensive bibliography on the postcolonial short story opens up further possibilities for research.

Book Synopsis New Zealand Stories by : Katherine Mansfield
Download or read book New Zealand Stories written by Katherine Mansfield and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten stories from the ‘brilliant’ Katherine Mansfield set in New Zealand. As Vincent O’Sullivan states, those encountering Mansfield’s stories for the first time have invariably found they ‘were alive, they were witty, they were moving, they covered new ground’. But with about 70 stories to choose from and a vast array of themes and approaches, where do you start, and how do you begin to understand and best appreciate her writing and achievements? This series features selections of her best stories, grouped by subject and introduced by Mansfield scholar Vincent O’Sullivan, who is also a writer of fiction in his own right. Each volume offers a different way to view Mansfield’s work. This selection includes her most-loved stories about the New Zealand of her childhood. As O'Sullivan explains, his choices cover ‘everything of importance that happened to her, that she observed and experienced, between childhood in Wellington’s wooden houses, to her deciding in Switzerland in July 1922, that her final paragraph about a singing bird was the place for her to stop’.
