Belief

Vintage 2000 Paperback, 485pp. "The darker side of belief permeates this American debut by New Zealander Johnson, who chronicles a life of spiritual pilgrimage driven by mental instability in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. William McQuiggan's physical abuse as a child has left him a bitter alcoholic unable to accept responsibility for his actions. He ekes out a poverty-stricken existence in rural New Zealand with his wife, Myra, the orphaned daughter of a rigid Australian minister. Martyr-like, Myra endures William's physical, sexual and emotional abuse until the reader becomes numbed by her continuous suffering. The narrative of New Zealand life is peppered with vivid but unfamiliar regional terminology (a glossary would have been helpful for American readers). After a vision that was possibly whiskey-induced, William deserts Myra and their newborn twins to begin a search for God that takes him to America and involves him in three different religious movements. Johnson documents many of the attractions of Mormonism, the Jehovah's Witness movement and Dr. Alexander Dowie's Zion City, Ill. utopian community, but ultimately paints them all as fallible and deceptive. By the time William's family joins him in America, he has become completely mentally unhinged, even as Myra has grown tougher and more resilient. Johnson's writing is strong, her characterizations convincing, and the novel incorporates some fine subthemes about racial discrimination and family dynamics. However, the conclusion that faith is essentially a meaningless, empty exercise may fail to resonate with an American audience. ", (ISBN: 1869414365). Good.

Belief

Vintage 2000 Paperback, 485pp. "In 1899, while clearing bush on his poor New Zealand farm, William McQuiggan experiences an epiphany. Shortly thereafter, he leaves his young Australian wife Myra and newborn twins and travels to America in search of God. Belief is the story of William's journey and his marriage to Myra, who follows him from Auckland to Salt Lake City, Utah, and Zion City, Illinois. With each leg of the journey, the family grows until William is the reluctant father of six. During their travels, Myra comes up against her husband's religious zealotry and his slow but inevitable mental disintegration. Spanning 17 years, three countries, and three religions, Belief heralds the US debut of a remarkable writer with a vivid evocation of a bygone way of life.AUTHORBIO: Never before published in the US, Stephanie Johnson is an accomplished New Zealand writer whose work includes plays for stage and radio, poetry, scriptwriting, and novels. Her novel The Heart's Wild Surf was published by Vintage in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.She is co-founder of the Auckland Writers' Festival and the 2000 Katherine Mansfield Fellow. Belief will be published fall 2001 by Vintage UK. ", (ISBN: 1869414365). Very Good.

The Whistler

Vintage 1998 Paperback, 235pp. "Smooch is a 'Whistler', a genetically altered lapdog with special talents, including the ability to remember his previous incarnations and the ability to communicate rather directly form his brain by electronically downloading his thoughts onto disc. Smooch has been reincarnated many times, and has lived on many of the great laps of history, past and future. He can recall many of history's key moments, such as the birth of Jesus and the imprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots.The Whistler is a virtuous feat - wise, fun and intelligent. Smooch's current reincarnation is in Sydney in the year 2318. The world has gone to hell: democratic government worldwide has given way to a society run by corporations, pollution is everywhere, and society is heavily stratified between haves and hove nots.
