Also in the mix are a blackly comic debut about a queer woman's dissolute return to her hometown in New Zealand and a doorstopper exploring the fascinating phenomenon of postwar amnesia inspired by real-life cases of soldiers who lost their memories on the battlefields of World War I.

Cleverly, it's the work of photography that fades in and out of the story, as both a practical skill and as an occasionally manipulated memento, that situates the story in the darkroom of history and literature.
