Second the weekly New Zealand Listener - March 20-26, 2010 Highlights for book lovers this week:
1.Seeing the lightby Diana Wichtel
For 25 years Francis Pound wrestled with New Zealand’s nationalist preoccupations. The result? A book called The Invention of New Zealand: Art & National Identity 1930-1970.
2.An excitationby Maggie Barry
How a Kiwi with a stellar career helped an unlikely film win major awards, and ended up getting an Oscar nomination herself.
'One of the vulgarest women'by CK Stead
TS Eliot on Katherine Mansfield and other insights into the poet’s life and thoughts in his collected letters.
And then of course there is the cultural curmudgeon who gets a whole page this week and is in a remarkably patient and thoughtful mode on the subject of the great New Zealand flag debate. It would seem that even contary cultural curmudgeons have their quiet moments......
