All Visitors Aboard and Dumb
These two novels from the White, male and realist tradition reveal that the
Pakeha male writer is still very much alive and kicking—is he what.
The paper will explore how men have been empowered and disempowered and
include discussion on the sexual politics implicit in other such seminal
male gender texts as Man Can Do It Alone, The Odd Boy,
The Good Keen Ram and
so on. When the time comes would the last White (straight) male, realist
writer still standing in New Zealand please close the door before he
leaves?
