摘要：The disasters that have struck Christchurch in September 2010 and February 2011 have prompted memories and discussions of the Hawke’s Bay earthquake of February the 3rd 1931, which killed more than two hundred and fifty people and leveled the towns of Napier and Hastings. A number of histories of the quake of 1931 have been written over the decades, but literature offers us different, and perhaps differently useful, ways to consider the great quake of 1931. One of the strangest and most powerful literary responses to the disaster came from Hubert Witheford, a man who seldom figures as more than a footnote in histories of New Zealand culture.
