tackman_babcock 's review for:
The Bone People
by Keri Hulme
Extraordinary; worth every rave review it received at the time, and a staggering contribution to literature. And deserving of every outcry of pain, at the same time.
I loved the language and the almost spiritual treatment of cadence and rhythm.
The subject matter is troubling, and the resolution is hard to swallow. I feel in some ways asked to take a journey that against all expectations succeeds in touching m the transcendent, and then.. I must now place a child in the bronze hands of moloch as tribute, an act of abasement to show I value the spiritual path above mundane concerns such as the lives of children. I do love you Kerewyn and the world you have pulled into being but I won’t do it.
