A Gun in my Hand - Gordon Slatter


"A Gun in My Hand by Gordon Slatter. With a Gun in his hand and bitterness in his heart, a man has returned to settle thing once and for all with the men and women he has avoided ever since the war. His search takes him to some strange places, during twenty-four hours that begins early on Saturday as the inter-island steamer is entering Lyttelton Harbour and would reach their climax next morning after a wild, drunken party."

"This is a work of fiction. It is a psychological thriller, the stream-of-consciousness one-day odyssey of a disillusioned man revisiting his Christchurch past, vainly bent on resolving the guilt he carries from traumatic war experiences. Raw realism until is interlaced with extraordinarily vivid fragments of memory from the New Zealand Division's Italian campaign of 1945 and from work experience on the wharves, on farms, in the freezing works, and elsewhere."
