Ian Middleton (26 October 1928 - 24 October 2007) was a New Zealand novelist, who made a particular mark [1] with his books set in post-Second World War Japan. Born in New Plymouth, he was the younger brother of noted New Zealand short story writer O. E. Middleton. Blind, he said this gave him a "special perspective but 'without limitation'", and has been attributed to the "strong metaphoric colour, sensual - often erotic - quality and lush verbal richness of his writing".[2] A full list of his publications can be seen at the University of Auckland's NZ Literature file [3] and more biographical information is at the New Zealand Book Council's website.[4] Main works
The 'Japanese trilogy' - Faces of Hachiko, Sunflower and Reiko - describes a personal and complex portrayal of post-war Japan. Pet Shop, a novel on his early upbringing in small-town New Zealand, wartime Auckland and his experiences on a Norwegian tanker, was described by New Zealand writer Kevin Ireland as "an absorbing picture of the repressions that passed for a moral code".[5] References1. ^http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/writers/middletonian.html|Book Council entry, Middletonian {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Middleton, Ian}}{{NewZealand-writer-stub}}2. ^The Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature, edited by Roger Robinson and Nelson Wattie (Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998)| Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature 3. ^University of Auckland file 4. ^Book Council entry, Middletonian 5. ^The Oxford Companion to New Zealand Literature, edited by Roger Robinson and Nelson Wattie (Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998) 6 : 1928 births|New Zealand male novelists|2007 deaths|People from New Plymouth|20th-century New Zealand novelists|20th-century New Zealand male writers |
