CHRIS ELSE

The Beetle In The Box

Vintage 2001 Paperback, 291pp. "When Jack Collingham becomes chauffeur to the Casturians, it seems the perfect arrangement. He is capable and obliging and willing to comply with the oddest requests. All he wants is to save some money and have some free time to work out what to do with his life. But when true love strikes, Jack is suddenly forced into a situation he is ill-prepared for - a dangerous choice between what he cares about most in the world and his own survival.THE BEETLE IN THE BOX is an exciting development in the work of one of New Zealand's most thoughtful writers. Part fairy tale and part philosophical exploration, this compelling love story is witty and subtle, full of insight into the peculiar blend of reason and passion that makes up our humanity.

On River Road

Vintage Books USA 2004 Paperback, 366pp. "In the trendy satellite town of Durry, four couples live in the support and trust of their joint friendship.

But now the teenage daughter of one of them has been killed in a hit and run. Cracks begin to appear in their relationships. Can the centre hold? Chris Else's latest novel explores this network of friends, wives, husbands and lovers. With insight and compassion, he takes us through the aftermath of the accident on River Road and reveals our own deep need for human comfort and reassurance, even in the midst of seeming plenty.
