The go-between. Review by Caren Wilson.

An online copy of Caren Wilson's article is available at The Listener site here. Read through the article and think about the following questions:

1. Why is the author Paul Diamond mentioned and quoted so often in the article?
2. What's the significance of Makereti's many names?
3. What is the significance of the article's title 'The go-between'?
4. What is significant about Makereti's life for Diamond?
5. Why is the phrase "hot lakes" placed in quotation marks?
6. Wilton ends the article with a long quote by Diamond. What is the main point made in this final paragraph?
7. Why do you think Wilton decides to end her article with this quote?

(Feel free to write your answers as a comment to the post).

Interested in Makereti? There's more information at Monumental Stories and at the National Library.
