Our slightly irreverent literary questionnaire, inspired by
New Zealand author Katherine Mansfield.
We ask Kirsty Gunn, the winner of the 2013 New Zealand Post
Book Award for her novel The
Big Music, to start our first questionnaire.
Write a prelude to your life in one sentence:
Very early morning…
Would your father have accepted your plea for musical
training?
He did. I started on the piano when I was five.
Garden parties. Yes or no?
Of course. |
Former leading New Zealand publisher and bookseller, and widely experienced judge of both the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Montana New Zealand Book Awards, talks about what he is currently reading, what impresses him and what doesn't, along with chat about the international English language book scene, and links to sites of interest to booklovers.
