Writing Wellington: Twenty Years of Victoria University Writing Fellows

The Pardon Garty

The Pardon Garty

Acknowledgment is made of one of New Zealand's greatest short story writers in the paper and the curious dichotomous ambivalent position she holds in page 21 New Zealand letters. The author disliked New Zealand, left it to its own devices, never came back and wrote all her major stories about New Zealand while living in France. The paper will propose this trailing of skirts through colonial space as being a metaphor for the meta-schizophrenic nature of the New Zealand psyche.
