Notes
As this latest collection of short stories shows, contemporary New Zealand writing can hold its own on the world stage. At the same time, however, it has a distinctly local flavour, depicting our landscape and experiences as well as our wry insights and tone.
Coming from a variety of writers and representing the best stories written over the past year, this third annual collection is a thoroughly entertaining read. There’s love and theres lust, there’s travel and there’s murder, there’s childhood memory and the trial of growing old. Beautifully written, it's the ideal book for sampling New Zealand writing today.
