Description
The Burning River by Lawrence Patchett is an extraordinary imaginative achievement that presents a radically changed Aotearoa New Zealand. In this unsettlingly strange and fully realised narrative situation, Van's life in the swamp is hazardous, with shelter provided by Rau and Matewai as he mines plastic and trades to survive.
A young visitor summons him to a fenced settlement on the hill, offering a new and frightening responsibility: a perilous inland journey that leads to a tense confrontation and the prospect of a rebuilt world. Patchett's narrative is both intellectually exhilarating and emotionally agitating, making for a deeply unsettling reading experience.
