      »Inseln tauchen auf und verschwinden wieder.« Keri Hulme Der Steinfisch ist in der Sprache der Maori ein Fisch aus Jade, der einst das Meer vor der Westküste Neuseelands durchschwamm. Eigenwillig und kraftvoll wie die Phantasiewelt der Maori sind die Geschichten der neuseeländischen Meistererzählerin Keri Hulme. In einer Welt, in der nichts mehr verlässlich und sicher erscheint, streifen die Figuren das gerade noch Mögliche oder kaum noch Vorstellbare: apokalyptische Visionen, groteske Veränderungen, grausame Zwischenfälle. Es ist die Intuition des Kreatürlichen, die den Erzählungen Keri Hulmes ihre einzigartige Magie verleiht.
