One Night Out Stealing
by Alan Duff
Talanoa: Contemporary Pacific Literature
"Mr. Duff's writing continually rings with depressing authenticity. While his story is set in Auckland and Wellington, the issues it raises--poverty, racial tension, family strife, and social decay--will be all too familiar to American readers." --New York Times Book Review "The most exciting aspect of the novel is Duff's freewheeling and creative approach to language, his bold willingness to force words to work for him, an open and eager sense of their possibilities... One of the most interesting writers around." --The Dominion
