Description
If New Zealand fiction over the course of the twentieth century exhibited an anxiety about its place in the world that the possession of a national literature was supposed to assuage, then perhaps it is appropriate that among the most compelling works to address that concern in post-nationalist terms is one written in a form doubly marginalised: the local graphic novel. In Hicksville (1998), Dylan Horrocks uses the comic form not only to make his case for a broadening of the definition of art and an expansion of critical focus, but also to register the changing relationship between the regional and the international in an increasingly globalised world.
