Te Kaihau/The Windeater, Keri Hulme's first collection of short stories, gathers together the work of more than ten years. Its twenty stories include the award-winning Hooks and Feelers, about a mother who has inadvertently maimed her child and A Drift in Dream, which gives a pre-Bone People glimpse of Simon and his parents. Throughout, Keri Hulme experiments with language and the components of style, and reveals herself a writer of virtuosity and emotional power.
