New Zealand Fiction

Winner of 2000 montana Fiction medal. With the advent of the new millenium comes a new disease - Harlequin Rex - and a variety of reactions to it. The men and women in Owen Marshall's new novel find themselves caught up in a terrifying novelty, and all must cope as best they can. Their response is influenced as much by the past as by present events however, those formative things which lie far back in us all - guilt, loyalty, compromise and love, especially love.
