Incredible detail in tribute to sculptor

3/12/2020

Paul Dibble X:  A Decade of Sculpture 2010-2020
Text by Fran Dibble

The enormity of the size and variation of Paul Dibble’s work comes to life in this stunning celebration of his work over the last decade. From his iconic huia birds to the moving Featherston Stand, He Tino Mamoa (It’s a Long Way) and the surprising Killer Rabbits series with a serious message of rabbits being one of our earliest inflictors of environmental damage in New Zealand.
    This large format, 180 page book has stunning photography throughout. It includes Dibble’s finished sculptures in galleries and public places and working in Palmerston North in his workshop. Dibble’s artistic process from an idea to a 3-D form is shown in his first drawings, moulds, mock ups, materials used and the finished sculptures.
     Woven carefully throughout the book are snippets of Dibble’s handwritten notes reflecting on his art and influences. This is a treat for the reader as they get a real insight into the artist’s thoughts and opinions.
    Dibble was born in Thames and raised on a farm in Waitakaruru on the Hauraki Plains. He does have artists in his family, but had never been to an art gallery or even a library until he left the farm and went to Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland.
    He says that even though he admires art outside of New Zealand, it doesn’t influence his work. “As far back as I can remember, my art has been preoccupied with images of this country” – Paul Dibble. This is very evident in every series of work that Dibble takes on, with strong themes of New Zealand’s fauna and flora and our social history.
    The book is collated and written by Fran Dibble, his wife of 35 years; who is a fellow artist and art critic. Fran’s close perspective is unique and insightful.
    My only criticism is the cover of the book. Clearly the X represents a decade of Dibble’s work, but the image does not immediately connect you to his iconic sculptures.
    Readers will be amazed to read that this book focuses only on the last decade of Dibble’s work and not a life time. The incredible detail in the large scale sculptures that he brings to life really make people stop, look and contemplate.
    Paul Dibble X: A Decade of sculpture is a real tribute to one of New Zealand’s most original and respected sculptors.

Small volume packs a punch

27/11/2020

The Perfection of Snails
by Linley Jones

In these uncertain and rather worrying times, short stories provide an attractive alternative to the longer immersion required when a novel or a weighty volume of non-fiction is tackled. This collection is a case in point.
The stories are well-written, but their appeal goes well beyond simply that. They are in turn provocative, compassionate without being overly sentimental, often highly amusing and always entertaining. They are also based firmly in ordinary human experience, and for the relatively small amount of time involved the reader is rewarded lavishly by having some of them stay in mind long after the last sentence is read. These are stories that don’t try to shock with edgy language or escape into fantasy, but they will frequently induce gasps of recognition, and they do sometimes have an unexpected twist in their tail.
There are some that had particular appeal for this reviewer. One concerns a keen gardener with a neighbour who also spends much of his time in his own plot cultivating potatoes, constantly repeating the first phrase of an annoying ditty as he works. So strong is her reaction to this annoyance she is eventually driven to a desperate remedy.
In another, a doctor has to come to terms with the tragic effects of an abusive relationship in one of her patients while dealing with personal problems of her own.
A particular favourite is one concerning a meeting between a man’s adult children and his choice of new partner, that shows how difficult (indeed, perhaps impossible) it is to make headway against the established bigotry of those who will not even subject their own thoughts to rational analysis.
Then there is one concerning a frustrated young lawyer trapped in a high-rise office who momentarily mistakes a skinny lad wrapped in a blue towel and wearing red budgie-smugglers for Superman come to rescue her. Oh, how disappointing reality can be!
Perhaps the most moving story is one that reminds us of both the dreadful inhumanity of war, and the resilience of the human spirit.
For readers who might be inspired by these stories to try writing some of their own, the author has provided useful short notes at the end telling something of how she herself found the required inspiration. But it is the stories themselves that will be the real attraction here. Some will appeal more strongly than others, but they are all at the very least thought-provoking.
This is a small volume – perfect for tucking under a pillow or slipping into a pocket – but it packs a punch.

Trilogy of adventure novels

21/11/2020

The Trainsurfer Series (3 books)
by Kate Richards

If searching for a trilogy of adventurous and informative novels set in South Africa and New Zealand one could hardly go past the three books written by librarian Kate S Richards and suitable for ages eleven onwards.
The first two stories take place in South Africa each giving insight into a particular period and place in the life of Jabu, an orphaned Zulu boy, at a time when interracial friendships could prove to be dangerous, while the third book chronicles his time spent in New Zealand.
The author’s inclusion of a glossary of words requiring definition is well placed at the beginning of each book and enhances the reader’s journey.

Trainsurfer
Jabu’s mum has died . . . a powerful beginning to the story as Jabu realises he belongs to nobody and has nowhere to go. Jumping on a train, and trying to avoid paying the fare, he hauls himself up onto the roof joining other boys who show him how to surf the train, an extremely risky occupation with possible severe consequences as when one of his companions comes to grief.
   Stowing away in a truck on his way to Durban to find his aunt, Jabu realises he has an interesting companion.
   Once in Durban he meets other homeless kids and experiences  racial tension on the surfing beaches, including a violent episode with the police.
   Eventually Jabu becomes an accomplished surfer and if you wonder what these accomplishments lead to please read ‘Trainsurfer’. I think you’ll enjoy it. I did!

Saving Thandi
Here the author addresses another major problem, the slaughtering of rhinos for the purpose of obtaining the animal’s marketable horn.
Jabu and friends, including a young professional surfer, journey to a private game reserve on a publicity mission illuminating the danger rhinos can find themselves in as they are trying to raise their young.
The action heats up as the surfers are taken to sea and find themselves on a luxury yacht, complete with sinister cargo, in the middle of a storm. Alexia calls on her considerable skills as a surfer.
A mischievous monkey and a chatty Raven do their part in making this informative book exciting and entertaining.

Nikau's Escape
   A more mature Jabu arrives in New Zealand where he joins his friend Kyle, who is training for surfing events, and meets a new friend, Pania. Pania has a younger brother, Nikau, who is in danger of ‘going off the rails’ as he looks forward to his father’s release from prison.
   In the hope of reforming Nikau, Pania has formed a group called ‘Aotearora Ora  Adventures’  which is similar to a group Jabu has formed in South Africa called ‘Kids Surf 4 Life’ both of which are aimed at getting kids off glue sniffing or weed. After her stepfather was hospitalised Pania decided to go ahead and take a group to Mount Ruapehu for skiing and snowboarding. They are followed to the mountain by Nikau’s father who is after a parcel he believes Nikau has in his possession.
   The 1995 eruption of Mount Ruapehu volcano occurs and splits up the group. Nikau has to contend with both the dangers of an avalanche  and of his criminal father, not to mention the lahar below him. Some geological detail is included as Nikau decides on a course of action.
   The book touches on the use of drugs without labouring the problem.
   The story flows well, draws to a very acceptable conclusion and is highly recommended.

This set of three books  is a beautiful collection with each one having a very attractive cover conveying the theme of the story.  There is much to be learned as the writer addresses such topics as homelessness, race relations, conservation, as well as personal relationships, making it a valuable addition to any young person’s library.

Good quality crime fiction

14/11/2020

Caught Between
by Jeannie McLean

This tale gets a “Wow!” from this reader. It comes as no surprise that it was one of three finalists out of two hundred entries in the 2018 Michael GifkinS Prize for an Unpublished Novel.
Rarely does a book engage me to the point where I consume it in one sitting but “Caught Between” did just that. Plenty of tension, red herrings, twists and turns built the suspense at just the right pace to make it un-put-downable.
Alternating chapters between Tova Tan and Constable Finn McIntosh (with the exception of the first and last), Jeannie takes us into a world of distrust, murder and betrayal in the suburbs of Auckland paralleled with the politics, rivalry and frustrations of the investigation team at the Henderson Police station.
Big money, drugs, gambling, crime gangs and police corruption ... “Caught Between” has the lot.
To review in more detail could risk giving away some of the plot so I will resist the temptation. Suffice to say that if you are a fan of good quality crime fiction, this will certainly fit the bill.

Almost unnoticed New Zealand aviation pioneer

9/11/2020

Oscar Garden – A Tale of One Man’s Love of Flying
by Dr Annamaria Garden

One day a young man walked into Selfridges store in London and bought an aeroplane. He then proceeded to learn to fly and having accumulated the vast total of 12 hours and 55 minutes of dual instruction, decided to gain the necessary 100 hours of solo flying, for his commercial licence, by piloting his own aircraft to Australia.
This man was the author’s father Oscar Garden and the book recounts the history of a very early pioneer of aviation.
Oscar was born in Scotland but his parents split up when he was 11, his father moving to Timaru where he opened an aerated water factory. Oscar remained in the United Kingdom with his mother, but she found it very hard to cope financially, and so they both moved to New Zealand in 1920. He was 17 years old. Oscar accumulated some capital from rabbiting and opened a cycle repair shop and later a garage in Southbridge, which he operated for two years, and then moved to Sydney for a while. Finally, with a thousand pounds in his pocket, he sailed to England and there became interested in flying, an interest that shaped the next few years of his life.
The aircraft he bought was a blue Gypsy Moth on which he had painted the name Kia Ora in silver on the fuselage.
His plan was to fly it to New Zealand and obtained sponsorship from the Vacuum Oil company, who arranged fuel depots along the route for him. He took off with no publicity, no crowd seeing him off and flew the first leg to Munich, then through the Balkans to Syria, Iraq and Iran. Then followed Karachi, Calcutta, Rangoon and Singapore, finally to Australia.
The author has access to his logbooks and gives a daily account of the flight based on these. Although some further details have been provided by others, I am sure much more drama and excitement took place than is told in the logbook. Oscar’s attention to detail and his lack of fuss shows through the story of his flight and this is evident throughout his life. He expected no great welcome anywhere, so the accolades that were awarded to him on his arrival in Australia astounded him. He received civic welcomes and was feted by aero clubs at every city he touched down in.
The Gypsy Moth did not have the range to fly to New Zealand, so he and the aircraft were shipped across the Tasman. In New Zealand he undertook tours of both the North and South Islands, arranged by his sponsor Vacuum Oil Ltd, under the name of their petrol brand Plume. He visited almost every corner of the country, from the Far North to Stewart Island where he was the first pilot to land.
A period of barnstorming in South Africa followed, but did not produce the financial rewards hoped for. Oscar then went back to England to complete his pilot training, and became a career airline pilot, starting with United Airways, one of several companies that merged to form British Airways. In 1938 he joined Imperial Airways with the goal of gaining experience in flying boats, because he had the dream of flying a service across the Tasman.
He realised his dream when in April 1940, despite the difficulties of the war, the service between Rose Bay in Sydney and Mechanic’s Bay in Auckland began, Oscar being commanding pilot of the second flight.
The two aircraft, Awatere and Aotearoa, had many adventures, mainly involving the weather, but as they gathered experience they began to lower the trans-Tasman flight times by significant amounts. There was no long range weather forecasting, the planes were not pressurised and the cabins were not adequately heated, so the captain would ask the passengers, “do you want to stay low and suffer airsickness, or shall we climb higher where it’s smoother but colder”. They generally agreed that they could put up with a little cold in exchange for smoothness.
Oscar became operations manager for TEAL, but they parted company because of a disagreement over the aircraft chosen to replace the flying boats. He wanted pressurised, land based aircraft, but the management bowed to political pressure and insisted on buying British made Solent flying boats, over American land based aircraft. He then became a horticulturist running a successful tomato farm near Tauranga, until his death at age 93.
I found this book really interesting, as it tells the life story of the almost unnoticed of New Zealand’s aviation pioneers. Sometimes I would have liked more details of various incidents in his flying exploits, and sometimes the accounts of the various civic receptions became a little repetitive, but overall it’s a good read and I can recommend it.

Retribution
by Christina O'Reilly

From the back blurb – ‘What was Lucy hiding? Why has she no family or friends? As the number of suspects mounts up, Archie begins to conclude that the real answer lies in Lucy’s dark and mysterious past, and that the murderer may be just a little too close for comfort....’
I reviewed the first book of DSS Archie Baldrick - Into the Void - and when I closed the final page, I hoped Christina would have another novel for him in mind. Apparently she did for Retribution is a great follow up.
We are thrown straight into another case. A murder and Archie and the reliable DC Ben Travers are at the scene. Archie has an aching back and a desperate fear about the daughter who has cut ties with him. The young woman found dead on Ripton Beach has a strangely empty life, a life her husband knows curiously little about.
Christina writes a very linear story, straight down the line, no deviations, no sub-plots and yet manages to hold interest and she is excellent at picking up the pace in the latter stages of her novels. I find myself racing along with the story. Great little twists and again nice domestic touches of Archie’s life, although this time, they felt slightly more forced somehow. In Retribution, Archie’s family, though obviously important, didn’t reach out to me so vividly and seemed a bit crow-barred into the narrative rather than belonging there naturally. I would have liked maybe more character development for DC Travers too, but these are minor quibbles I almost feel guilty writing about for I enjoyed this book. As with Into the Void I demolished it in one sitting.
Like Into the Void, Retribution is expertly handled with natural dialogue and a nice way of moving the plot forward without unnecessary re-telling of evidence. I feel Christina trusts the reader to remember the important bits.
So, Christina, thanks again for a thoroughly enjoyable read. Got another one coming?

High quality artwork

Hare & Ruru
by Laura Shallcrass

The cover of this book is striking. There’s no doubting that, and it’s what drew my attention first.
And it doesn’t stop there; the artwork throughout is of the same vivid, high quality.
It’s a book that any children’s library shelf would be proud to display.
When I first saw the title, I thought it was a book with a Maori focus but soon realised Hare is the long-eared animal strongly resembling a rabbit.
The storyline is how Hare sets out to find quiet.
At the end of the book there are teaching notes to perhaps help the reader find their ‘quiet’.
The font is rather small if this book is aimed at younger readers. My experience is that children prefer the larger print in order to follow the story more clearly. Also if the child is not actually holding the book the print could be a little larger. But having said that, this is a book for anybody, as written by the author -
‘Hare lived in a quiet corner, but there was still noise...
This is the story of Hare, who struggles to find quiet even in peaceful places.
Hare goes on a journey to try and find a solution.
This gentle heartwarming story is for anybody who suffers from noises, anxiety or loud feelings.’
There are a couple of minor editing bloopers but overall this is a book that is beautifully presented.

Between a personal memoir and a biography

19/10/2020

Bill and Shirley, A Memoir
by Keith Ovenden

The really good books are, perhaps, those in which the second reading provides the real insight. If so, Keith Ovenden’s ‘memoir’ of his parents-in-law, Bill Sutch and Shirley Smith, certainly qualifies. Even for those familiar with the Sutch saga in the 1970s, and his infamous spy trial, there is more detail here. More importantly, Shirley now receives equal billing; and though her memoir is separate, it is not secondary.
Having completed a first reading, it is essential to then read the author’s excursus: ‘Between memoir and biography’. For this book is somewhere between a personal memoir and a biography, as it includes some very intimate details. This is because of Ovenden’s inclusion of new revelations in the book that would otherwise be personal secrets, found in private letters between other family members not in the public eye.
One has to have a major reservation about the memoir, where both Bill and Shirley’s late siblings are being exposed. Ovenden states that “a choice of privacy is worthy of respect,” referring to his previous biographical work. But those choices are not made by the deceased who happened to have had more illustrious older siblings. I have to say that the choice to include these secrets is potentially dubious. With regard to Bill, it primarily involves his infidelity, with a woman that is clearly identified; but there is also a further twist to the tale, as evident in her personal letters to Sutch’s sister.
There is also an issue with regard to the memoir of Shirley Smith, and, in particular, her relationship with half-brother Allan. This tends to be based less on documentary evidence, and more on actual experience, but it has now been made public. It’s hard to say if this exposure is really necessary. Shirley was already the subject of a biography, and this information was either not available to the author, or she omitted it.
Nevertheless it seems that Shirley, and her sister-in-law, Helen Smith, had to do a ‘stand by your man’ routine. Shirley could have stayed in England, having received another marriage proposal; and Bill could have remained in New York with his lover, but chose to return to New Zealand. The confirmation of infidelity does not help his cause, and nor does the tolerance of it by Shirley, even if she was always faithful.
It is Shirley that is portrayed as a path-breaking woman, from her move to Oxford University for under-graduate studies at 18, to her career as a lawyer and advocate.
Yet it is the memoir of Bill at the beginning that requires the close reading, before the new revelations of his personal issues, and consideration of his final dénouement. His O.E. was even more prestigious, in gaining a scholarship to do a PhD at Columbia University, and also a greater strain for a working class boy from New Zealand. As Ovenden puts it: “it may be difficult – though I saw it very clearly in the early 1970s – to understand what an immense transformation this was.” He says it created a range of key characteristics, both his sense of insecurity, and an ‘immoderate self confidence’.
But apparently this achievement also enhanced Sutch’s sense of place, and feeling of nationalism, as evidenced in his books. Maybe. But it is worth noting that Sutch was able to combine being part of an intellectual elite, with an enduring left wing perspective; as did Shirley Smith, whose legal practice helped the poorest people in New Zealand. It was their intellectual milieu that disintegrated after Sutch’s acquittal.

Wealth of wisdom in poems

14/10/2020

Body Politic
by Mary Cresswell

This is a slim book, just 68 pages, nicely presented, with a wealth of wisdom to be gleaned from the 51 poems.
Mary Cresswell has been in New Zealand for 50 years so much of the content is rooted in the bones of this country – the rocks, volcanoes, streambeds, coastlines, flora and fauna. Yet an earlier influence breaks in from time to time in allusions and word-use, providing a broader, more universal aspect to her work.
This book will be shelved under ‘poetry’ in any system, and rightly so. Yet there’s much variety in the 51 entries, some set out as prose and even two as numbered lists. At times this poet is creative in layout to spark our subconscious to add meaning. Others employ a variety of verse forms – so much so, that there’s no one form that suggests it is the norm from which others depart.
Prevalent themes are the natural environment and human relationship to it, the sea, faith and, right-up-to-date, virus. Here again, there’s not a single approach. Mother Nature is not always nurturing, as seen in Song to nature –
You rip the ground open, toss hillsides and buildings into
rubble. You crush my sisters and brothers beneath, and
they die too fast to cry.
And while a deep concern for the environment and conservation is very evident, this is challenged in the most delightful Moa’s advice to the kākāpō, which could be read as a cautionary tale.
Me? I’ve been there, done that, got
the T-shirt. It’s not extinction I mind –
it’s what they do to you on the way …
Classical references and lines inspired by other poets add to the depth and skill of Mary Cresswell’s verses, with several of her titles being a response to their works. It is clear that here is a poet who reads other poets; who is intelligent, perceptive, and worthy of reserving a place on the international stage.

Argument for political reform

7/10/2020

Who Dropped the Ball? Democracy in Crisis
by David Chapman

In a nutshell this is a unique polemic with a clear analysis of recent political history, and an argument for reform. However, it is not the actual case for reform that is compelling, but the economic analysis that precedes it that is so cogent. Although it was probably written before the Covid crisis, and the sweeping measures that resulted from it, the most important thing is the historical context that Chapman provides.
     This is in fact a collection of short chapters that can be read quickly, and the book as a whole in one sitting. It also relies on readers being familiar with the political context, especially pre-MMP politics. Chapman is obviously an older New Zealander, with a good memory for anecdotes and examples that help his argument. And, unlike most older citizens, he is not very conservative (as in right wing). Despite being in business, Chapman actually seems to prefer the current Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, and even has a soft spot for Metiria Turei, the former Green Party leader.
   This is one of the more interesting points he makes, it is not that we have got the wrong person in the job, it is just the way that it happened that concerns him. I think this is mostly because it singles out an individual and whether they are liked in the opinion polls, which are a construction of the news media. But Chapman seems to think the main problem is with the political parties. So basically he wants to outlaw political parties, and then have a benevolent elite of public figures work out who the best representatives should be, and allow Parliament as a whole to govern. This would also end the role of the Executive in the governing process, something which he does not really consider, as with other obvious aspects of a constitutional democracy.
   The removal of political parties comes despite the impact of the new electoral system, MMP. However, it has to be said that the MMP system would allow for many more independent voices in Parliament if we used the electorate vote to put them in there. Chapman came to his views on parties as a satirical one, but plays it out anyway.
   In terms of ‘Who dropped the ball’, this goes back to politicians in the 1980s, especially Roger Douglas and Richard Prebble, who said one thing then imposed a whole other agenda. It does not help the analysis that Chapman continually refers to ‘neo-liberalism’, a term that was not used at the time, but at least he does not use the phrase ‘Rogernomics’. This may seem old hat, but the economic analysis is very good. It simply remains to find fault with the individuals, or the institutions involved.
   Essentially, Chapman’s position is that elected politicians allowed foreign capital to come in with little ongoing scrutiny, at the same time as the public assets were given away in a fire sale. The questions remain over the latter, and who really forced the political parties into it. Chapman makes the point that one of the beneficiaries of privatisation, the Fay Richwhite company, appears to have been insolvent the whole time it was involved in the asset sales. The real culprits must be who knew about this at the time, but ignored it.
   Chapman’s overall message is about the loss of economic sovereignty, and the fact that unemployment never got back below what it was in the mid 1980s. But in the end the case is a moral one, when society is reduced to economic self interest and greed.
