 What Books: Playing with Fire: The New Inspector Banks Novel, by Peter Robinson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In the wee hours of a cold January morning (the chill of the climate and atmosphere is a brilliantly effective contrast to the searing fires of the plot) two narrow-boats are found burning on a lonely stretch of a Yorkshire canal.
As Robinson's well-seasoned protagonist Chief Inspector Banks sets the investigations in motion, the threads tangle and the case proves to be every bit as complex as it promised at the start.

 Peter Robinson's Swastika
Robinson, however, was not raised as a Maori, and it wasn't until he enrolled in Teachers Training College in 1990 that, encouraged by what he calls a "Maori renaissance" taking place around him, he decided to make art exploring his Maori ancestry.
Robinson is addressing our failure to be a credible bicultural nation, and cynically stressing the ease with which he entered the canon of New Zealand artists.
For curators to whom identity politics was passe, Robinson's irony and detachment made his work attractive, but, if the need for political correctness arose, it wasn't difficult to rustle up an essentialist critique, and portray Robinson as an artist in a quest for his Maori identity.

 Bookreporter.com - PLAYING WITH FIRE by Peter Robinson
Peter Robinson has been incrementally building a fan base in the United States for a while now, and though it is a dedicated one, it is at this point numerically somewhat less than what he deserves.
Robinson is in no hurry here, as he sends Banks and Cabbot along their respective ways while they attempt to unravel the backgrounds of the victims and seek to uncover the linkage that may determine the motive and, ultimately, the perpetrator.
Robinson additionally relies more on quiet drama than explosions and karate battles to move things along.

 Peter Robinson - Robert McDougall Art Gallery Exhibitions Archive 1999
While Robinson's early works examined culture and identity, particularly in relation to his own career path as a "Maori artist", his most recent art practice draws on his personal experiences as a New Zealander in Europe and focuses on the loneliness and sense of exile engendered by being separated from one's own culture and language.
The words and signs Robinson has included within the installation prove disingenuous, with phrases such as "no idea" suggesting that language can be a barrier as well as an aid to understanding.
Peter Robinson has exhibited widely in New Zealand and internationally and was recently one of fourteen artists selected to participate in Toi Toi Toi, the largest exhibition of contemporary New Zealand art ever to be shown in Europe, at the prestigious Museum Fridericianum in Kassel, Germany.

Robinson shows that females don't have to be dumb bunnies who are rescued from the jaws of death after they stupidly play into the killer's hands - sometimes the male needs rescuing.

Peter Robinson was born in Ashburton, New Zealand, in 1966 and received a BFA from Ilam School of Fine Arts, University of Canterbury, New Zealand, in 1989.
Of Maori descent, Robinson has critically explored issues of identity, ethnicity, and exoticism in his work, and has often provoked violent protest against the bold and bitterly ironic statements his works entail.
In another untitled work from 1994, Robinson continues these questions: An open wooden box, somewhere between a makeshift housing structure and a roadside sales shack, is placed in the center of the gallery and covered on the outside with handwritten signs in red, white, and fl.
