Summer Issue New Zealand Books out later this week

 The latest edition will be in bookshops on 5 December.


  Here’s a comment from editors Harry Ricketts and Louise O’Brien :


“The new Summer Issue (December, Issue 108) of New Zealand Books Pukapuka Aotearoa includes reviews of recent memoir, autobiography, children’s literature, fiction and the economy. Tim Corballis and Ingrid Horrocks sift the memorial clippings from Ian Wedde’s The Grass Catcher, David Cohen stares deeply into John C Weaver’s Sorrows of a Century, and Paul Morris reflects on reviewing home and away.”
