Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good+. First Edition / First Printing. Hint of edge wear, gently scuffed, small spot of sticker residue on the title page, overall a very crisp and clean and very collectible first edition! Extremely rare and out-of-print! 324 unmarked and uncreased, suspense-filled and historical pages! Very very scarce and hard-to-find! "A New Zealand novel that adds a contemporary whiff of paranoia and conspiracy to the rich tradition of Melville and Kerouac. In the late 1820s, after a life of hardship and adventure, the whaler James Heberley found his true name and final home in Te Awaiti, New Zealand. In the 1980s a young man in Wellington loses his name and the knowledge of where he is, and sets out to find them. Summoning up the ghosts of Herman Melville and the White Whale, he embarks on a journey through Pacific history that ends in a fish and chip shop on the East Cape. Symmes Hole is part quest and part historical critique, comic and bitter in turns. It explores and celebrates the underside of official history, and breaks important fresh ground in New Zealand fiction.".
