Writing of himself in the third person and in the historic tense, Barker/Houth achieves a fluency and an uncommon measure of objectivity, though objectivity is scarcely part of the intention. The result is a unique exercise in self-description, partisan but without the shrill self-justification so common in authentic autobiography. Barker/Houth's A Style and Its Origins is a literary creation, as befits its authorial origins; it is also a document of total originality and a rich source of dramatic and aesthetic history.

Powerful poetic language, dark humour and provocative ideas build a fast moving story around a fiercely intelligent young girl and her relentless refusal of the establishment. When suddenly a peoples revolution breaks out and a mercenary soldier intrudes the family home, the conflict between the regime and the unconquered girl is revealed. The Unconquered is both frighteningly dark and brutally funny, both broadly comic and profoundly tragic. Its themes are the absurd logic of imperialism and how it manifests itself in individual actions. A poetic meditation on the selfs struggle against the state, about the meaning of community, revolution. Oberon 01 Oberon 02 20070501 UNIREPS 02 10 20070501 02 28.95 UNIREPS 05 AU 02 01 20070501
