Alistair Te Ariki Campbell - The Frigate Bird

Heinemann Reed 1989 Paperback, 204pp. This, Alistair Campbell\'s first novel, is as rich and compelling as the poetry for which he is well known. Set partly in the Cook Islands, partly in a New Zealand psychiatric hospital, and partly within the confines of the narrator\'s mind, it is about a search--for love, sanity and the innocence of childhood. Along the way, it introduces some of the most bizarre and colourful characters to have appeared in Pacific fiction: Big Mouth, the Minotaur, Mr Soo, and the demonic Sidewinder. Alternating between the comic and the sinister, fantasy and madness, Polynesian spirituality and European angst, The Frigate Bird is a powerful work by one of the Pacific\'s foremost writers. (description from book jacket). Tanned, minor foxing. (ISBN: 9780790000466). Good.
