Hamish Keith (just back from a visit to London) will be at the Auckland City Central Library tomorrow evening to present his memoir Native Wit.

Wednesday 10 December 2008 6.00pm - 7.00pm
Central City Library
Free event.
5.30pm for a welcome glass of wine, compliments of Glengarry Wines.

Legendary art commentator/author/curator/columnist/curmudgeon Hamish Keith returned to much-deserved national attention last year when his television series and accompanying book The big picture seized the imagination of New Zealanders. Keith's witty, revealing memoir Native wit gives readers an insight into his well-lived, rich and immensely varied life.

Whether as a confrere of Colin McCahon, the chairman of the Arts Council, husband of Oscar-wining film costume designer Ngila Dickson, bon vivant and accomplished chef or archenemy of doddering bureaucrats, Keith has a dynamic personality and a trenchant analysis that makes him a pleasure both to read and to listen to.
