- SATURDAY JUNE 27.
1. The Michele Hewitson interview with legendary southern man poet Brian Turner.
Great interview, and superb photo of the curmudgeonly Turner with his beloved alps in the background.
Turner's latest book, Into the Wilder World: A Back Country Miscellany, (Random House), is shortlisted for the MOntana NZ Book Awards.
2.David Hill's deservedly enthusiastic review of Dorothy Butler's autobiography, All This and a Bookshop Too, (Penguin). Also a great photo of the "grande dame of children's books".
3. John Roughan's column in which he speaks of the difficulty in finding a good book, and the importance of the role of the independent bookseller and gives Doris Mousdale a plug at the same time. Doris is opening her new bookshop, Anthology, in Newmarket's Teed Streeet in August.
Footnote:
And in The NZ Listener dated July 4-10, out today, 11 pages of book news and reviews, including the opportunity to win all the finalsits in the Montana NZ Book Awards. And the Cultural Curmudgeon on Auckland City's appalling record with the treatment of public art.
Don't miss the Weekend Herald or The Listener.
