NEW ZEALAND LISTENER

29 November - 5 December 2008

Readers should not miss this issue. Included are:

*Three page story/interview of Barbara Anderson by Paula Morris. The magazine is worth buying for this piece alone.

*One page reviews of Daddy Was a German Spy and Other Scandals by Brian Edwards - reviewed by David Cohen; Alfred & Emily by Doris Lessing - reviewed by Peter Wells; Second Violins:New Stories Inspired by Katherine Mansfield reviewed by Louise O'Brien; Diggers, Hatters & Whores The Story of the New Zealand Goldrushes by Steevan Eldred-Grigg - reviewed by Matthew Wright.

Plus a corker small poem by Brian Turner, and of course our very own Cultural Curmudgeon, Hamish Keith, writing from London
