  Keri Hulme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keri Hulme (born March 9, 1947) is a New Zealand writer, best known for her debut (and to this point, only) novel, The bone people.
Hulme was born in Christchurch, in New Zealand's South Island, the eldest of six children.
Hulme has been the Patron of the Republican Movement of Aotearoa New Zealand since 1996.

 HULME, Keri
Hulme has remembered that as a child she was possessed of ‘a relish for telling stories and an obsessive desire to communicate’.
Hulme has said of Kerewin that although she ‘has always been a bit of an off-shoot of me—a sort of wish-fulfilment character for what she owned, a shallow alter ego’, nonetheless ‘she escaped out of my control and developed a life of her own’.
Hulme’s postcoloniality, it is argued, accounts for her persistent use and subversion of binary categories (whether Maori/Pakeha, male/female, realism/fantasy or life/death) and her celebration of multiplicity.

 The Bone People, Constant Reader Discussion
Hulme veiled it in enough obscurity and ambiguity to satisfy me. In fact I interpret the ending to mean that the characters have simply made some necessary accommodations-Joe forswearing his violent methods of child discipline (perhaps) and Kerewin reconciling with her family (perhaps).
Hulme is only one-eighth Maori (one great-grandparent) and I was interested in why she identified with that part of herself so closely.
As for the alcohol, Keri Hulme in an interview claimed her own main interests were writing, walking on the beach and drinking whiskey.

Keri Hulme is much like some of her fictional characters: intellectual, real, slightly eccentric, and fish-obsessed.
Keri, with her twisted brilliance and award-winning fiction, was the reason Holly chose New Zealand over other more politically interesting locales.
Keri has a mythology around her — the net result of genius and eccentrism — and we think she likes it that way.

 Keri Hulme
In the novel Hulme blended naturalism and poetry, and showed her deep understanding of the spiritual legacy of Maori culture.
Keri Hulme was born in Christchurch, of mixed Maori, Orkney Island Scottish, and English parentage.
Hulme, who avoids publicity and likes fishing, painting, drinking, and writing like her protagonist Kerewin, has said that had she known the book would be so widely read, she would have made Kerewin more different from herself.

 Life & Leisure
Keri Hulme’s The Bone People has finally made it to India after being published in 1984 and going on to win the Booker Prize in 1985.
Kerewin is a former artist who has cut herself off, for reasons we never become fully aware of, from her family, and as the novel begins, we find her living in a Tower in a small town in New Zealand, falling into a downward spiral of increasing isolation, alcoholism and creative frustration.
Hulme’s book is as sprawling, as enthralling, and in places as mysterious as the island of New Zealand, so apt a landscape for Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth (oddly enough, Kerewin does contemplate digging a tunnel home before she decides to build her Tower, “she was fond of hobbits”).

Keri Hulme's Booker Prize-winning the bone people shot to fame 20 years ago but one reviewer claimed last year it was no longer read, "save by earnest German tourists and involuntary readers in university classes".
Fed up with rejections, Hulme admits in a preface to an edition published this year that she decided to buy a resin used to make trendy paperweights, "embalm" the manuscript and turn it into a doorstop.
But Hulme, the artist, met Marian Evans at a gallery exhibition and, inspired by the manuscript, she passed it on to Miriama Evans and Ramsden.

 Powell's Books - The Bone People by Keri Hulme
Out of this unorthodox trinity Keri Hulme has created what is at once a mystery, a love story, and an ambitious exploration of the zone where Maori and European New Zealand meet, clash, and sometimes merge.
She casts her magic on three fiercely unique characters, but reminds us that we, like them, are 'nothing more than people,' and that, in a sense, we are all cannibals, compelled to consume the gift of love with demands for perfection.
Hulme shifts narrative points of view to build a gripping account of violence, love, death, magic, and redemption.

Keri Hulme's The Bone People is sharply contrasted with Carter's work both in terms of form and genre.
Hulme capitalises on a heterosexual, homophobic subject position to present homosexuality as abject and implicitly links it to Joe's relationship with Simon.
It is unclear whether Hulme perceives her presentation of Simon as abject, although my reading of The Bone People places it as central to the novel.

From a telephone interview with Keri Hulme conducted by Laurelyn Douglas '91.
There were numerous private offers of contributions and support, but nobody was going to back it because Kerewin, they thought, was a little bit odd and didn't make the right noises, certainly not as a stereotypic New Zealand woman but also -- she wasn't sort of like a proper feminist either.

 The Bone People by Keri Hulme   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Keri Hulme’s The Bone People is the intense, disturbing, and surprisingly hopeful story of a young mute named Simon who loses his parents in a shipwreck and is eventually taken in by Joe Gillayley, a troubled man who proves to be both loving and brutal in his relationship with his foster son Simon.
Keri Hulme’s work was also the winner of the prestigious and coveted Booker Prize, demonstrating the book’s international reception and importance.
The novel makes many references to alcohol, but, as in the implications of violence, each reference is intended to further develop and demonstrate the continual moral and psychological collapse of the characters of the work.
