Picaresque hero Patrick Mika Fitzgerald embarks on a physical and psychological train trip. He travels from Auckland to Dunedin in search of love, but along the way he encounters many things that he didn’t bargain on. Patrick Mika Fitzgerald’s journey is playful, outrageous and immense. Michael O’Leary’s rhythmic prose, wordplay and multilingual puns provide a Maori-modernist take on Aotearoa New Zealand. Political and literary satiric jabs add feisty humor to the book’s exploration of the relationships between peoples; between New Zealand and elsewhere. Unlevel Crossings is a novel in the Irish-Maori tradition.
