Man alone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Man alone" is the archetypal myth of the New Zealand man, an outsider in his own land, and alone in the world.

The man alone has been a recurring theme in the short history of New Zealand art and literature, epitomized by Man Alone by John Mulgan in the 1930s, and Smiths Dream by C. K. Stead in the 1970s, which was later adapted in the 1978 feature film Sleeping Dogs, starring Sam Neil.
