‘Tracey Slaughter’s stunning second collection of short
stories garnered rave reviews earlier this year – if you haven’t already
gobbled down Deleted Scenes for Lovers, stop what you’re doing and get
your hands on it now.’ says author, Catherine Chidgey of one of her
book choices.
Such advice from the selection panel will be revealed and
celebrated over the coming months with an #aotearoareads campaign driven
by the New Zealand Book Council.
On choosing one of his own titles for Aotearoa Summer
Reads, Albert
Wendt says ‘This is the first time I’m recommending one
of my own books. I’ve always felt wrong about doing so, and I haven’t.
But now, nearing the end of my writing life, I’ve decided so what! You’ve
spent years teaching and recommending other writers’ books, so why not
one of yours, especially one you’re very fond of?’
And why not indeed! Aotearoa Summer Reads is a movement
created to inspire bold choices and an adventure in reading New Zealand
writers. #aotearoareads
