Charlotte Grimshaw is a New Zealand novelist who lives in Auckland. ==Career== Grimshaw's first book, ''Provocation'' (1999), drew on her experience as a criminal lawyer. Her second book, ''Guilt'' (2000), followed the lives of four characters in Auckland in 1987. Her third novel, ''Foreign City'' (2005) is the story of a young New Zealand painter living in London.〔(Review of Foreign City )〕 Grimshaw’s collection of short stories ''Opportunity'' was published in 2007. ''Opportunity'' is a series of stories that can be read separately, but contribute to a unified whole. The author says it is ‘a novel with a large cast of characters...each story stands by itself, and at the same time adds to the larger one.' Her interconnected short story collection, ''Singularity'', a companion volume to ''Opportunity'', was published in 2009 by Random House New Zealand and by Jonathan Cape in the UK. Grimshaw has also contributed to the following anthologies: ''Myth of the 21st Century'' (Reed 2006); ''The Best New Zealand Fiction Volumes Two, Three, Four and Five'' (Vintage); ''The New Zealand Book of the Beach Volumes One and Two'' (David Ling); ''Some Other Country'' (VUP); ''Second Violins'' (Vintage, 2008). Grimshaw's novel "The Night Book" (2010) contains characters from her popular collections Opportunity and Singularity, and follows the lives of a group of Aucklanders, one of whom is a National Party Prime Minister. Grimshaw's most novel, "Soon" (2012) continues the story of National Party Prime Minister David Hallwright, and has been described as a bold and biting satire on wealth and pretentiousness, and on the current political situation in New Zealand. Grimshaw's latest novel "Starlight Peninsula" (2015) is a sequel to "Soon", and also introduces a new cast of characters. Charlotte Grimshaw has said her intention with her last five books has been to create her own version of a Human Comedy, after Balzac - a series of linked novels and short story collections about life in New Zealand. Grimshaw writes a monthly column for Metro Magazine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charlotte Grimshaw」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
