Dan Davin a Rhodes scholar, and for many years and one of New
Zealand's acknowledged masters of the short story was born in
Invercargill, New Zealand in 1914. The Gorse Blooms Pale gathers
together twenty-six stories and a selection of poems reflecting his
experiences while growing up in an Irish-New Zealand farming family
in early twentieth-century Southland. Comic, haunting, compelling,
poetic, lyrical, and entertaining, these stories have a regional
flavor quite unlike any other body of work in New Zealand
literature. They insightfully capture the character of an
idiosyncratic rural community its post-British social relationships
and tribulations with a flair equal to such other New Zealand
writers as Sargeson, Frame, Middleton, or Marshall. The Gorse
Blooms Pale is a rare treasure in the landscape of
twentieth-century New Zealand literature.
