Mansfield Questionnaire: Kirsty Gunn

from New Zealand Book Council booknotes

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.
