Where's Waari?
Witi Ihimaera2000

"Where's Waari?" brings together Witi Ihimaera's choice of the 28 best short stories about Maori. Here are works well loved and works forgotten, by writers famous and writers obscure, told from standpoints of the Maori and of the Pakeha. They reveal Maori in ways that will seem familiar or foreign, true to life or literary — though which story tells it true all depends on you, the reader. In the editor's words: "In compiling this anthology, the fun has been in the search for 'Waari' — the Maori as he or she has been seen in the eyes of the beholder. Waari is in some of them. In others, the character looks like Waari and has Waari's name — but is it Waari?"
