From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Zealand claims as its own many writers, even those immigrants born overseas, like South African-born Robin Hyde, or those emigrants who went into exile but wrote about New Zealand, like Dan Davin and Katherine Mansfield.
Exceptions[clarify] include Samuel Butler, whose Erewhon, set in New Zealand and written as a result of a stay in New Zealand, nevertheless arguably belongs primarily to English literature. Karl Wolfskehl forms another possible exception: his sojourn in Auckland belongs rather to the story of German literature.
Keri Hulme is possibly the most famous current New Zealand writer internationally[citation needed], having won the Booker Prize with her novel, The Bone People.
Most New Zealand literary work appear in English, but Māori publications grow apace.
