New Zealand Books
Autumn 2013
(Issue 101 – Vol. 26, No.1)
On sale now
Father – CK Stead – and daughter – Charlotte Grimshaw
– each has their latest novel reviewed in the autumn issue of NZ Books,
out now. Chris Else argues that the term "literature" is as slippery
as warm butter, as he dips into Jane Stafford's and Mark Williams's Auckland
University Press Anthology of New Zealand Literature. District Court Judge
Bill Hastings looks into the ongoing battle to clear the name of David Bain,
Barbara Else and Angelina Sbroma review YA and children’s fiction, Ann
Beaglehole reviews three memoirs, including Jacqueline Fahey’s, and Brian
Easton looks into the post-quake performance of the insurance industry in
Canterbury.
