The Back of His Head is a hilarious and troubling satire on the construction and manipulation ofliterary fame. The four trustees of the literary trust set up to memorialise New Zealand's only Nobel Prize winner, Raymond Lawrence (shades of Maurice Shadbolt, Patrick White, Lawrence Durrell, Ernest Hemingway and a host of other male 20th-century colossi) must cope with rising costs and dwindling visitor numbers at the Residence, while fending off a wouldbe biography and confronting the secrets of their own intimate relationships with The Master.
Patrick Evans is the author of three previous novels and a number of plays. His other books include "The Penguin History of New Zealand Literature" (1990), " The Long Forgetting: Postcolonial Literary Culture in New Zealand" (2007), "An Inward Sun: The Novels of Janet Frame" (1971) and" Janet Frame "(1977).
