Keri Hulme’s first collection of short stories gathers together the work of more than ten years. Its twenty stories include the award-winning ‘Hooks and Feelers’, about a mother who has inadvertently maimed her child, and ‘A drift in Dream’, which gives a pre-bone people glimpse of Simon and his parents. Throughout, Keri Hulme experiments with language and the components of style, and reveals herself a writer of virtuosity and emotional power.
