Patricia Grace's writing, I have found, is particularly susceptible to this type of analysis.10 Her apparently straightforward plots, clear diction, and nearly transparent prose make her fiction seem relatively uncomplicated.

Grace has worked to situate non-Maori readers at the edge of her Polynesian narrative, where they can sense its components, but are unable to engage fully or even penetrate beyond its borders.
