A FINE TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL KING


I was delighted to catch up with Christchurch-based novelist Rachael King at the Auckland Writers & Readers Festival . She presented me with an advance copy of THE SILENCE BEYOND - Selected Writing by Michael King in which Rachael has written an introduction and which will be published by Penguin Books next month.


The book was the idea of Rachael, her brother, film-maker Jonathan King, and publishing consultant Geoff Walker who was at the time Publisher at Penguin Books.
The book includes some unpublished work and much which hasd appeared in anthologies that are long out of print and which many of us will not have seen before.
I'm thrilled to see this book, "a timely and fitting tribute to one of New Zealand's greatest modern thinkers."
Put your name down for it now at your favourite bookshop or library.
