I was the first New Zealand writer to take part in the International Writing Program at Iowa University and they didn’t make me an adjunct professor, though I was awarded an honorary fellowship in writing. The pensive-featured, marginally beautiful Ms Catton was made an adjunct professor at Iowa University. The Rehearsal was published in 17 territories and 12 languages – an impressive achievement for one barely out of school uniform. Her first novel, The Rehearsal, written when the author was virtually a child of 21 (or so) set a new hallmark in schoolgirlish bitchiness, as well as including flashes of purple writing – understandable in one so young. Eleanor Catton, it seems, can do no wrong, but is she doing anything right – apart from selling well?
