He is a storyteller who draws from wherever he is and whoever he is with, absorbing and reflecting texture, colour, nuance, shades of light and dark. Like Maui, he enjoys a good joke, and the joy and comedy of life are ever present.' - Janet Hunt, \u003cem\u003eTuwhare: A Biography\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e'The last Maori Modernist... he bestrides two worlds; his work bends and shapes the English language with impressive virtuosity, while at the same time being rich in the lexicon of Maoritanga...
