NZ Listener July 21-27




12 pages devoted to books this week ! Bravo!



Among the highlights are:




Two page interview/story by Caren Wilton with the award winning author of the moment, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Here is a taste.......










A major story on the Montana NZ Book Awards with speculation as to whether or not anything can stop Mr.Pip winning the fiction prize with arguements for and against for each of the five shortlisted titles.
All will be revealed at the Montana NZ Book Awards gala dinner in Auckland next Monday.

And a two page story on the making of surely 2006's most beautiful NZ title:

Philip Matthews interviewed Audrey Eagle. Here is a sample......

And there is heaps on poetry and new poetry titles, short takes on graphic novels, and of course Denis Welch's Culture Vulture column.
