TELL YOU WHAT: GREAT NEW ZEALAND
NONFICTION 2017
Editors: Susanna Andrew &
Jolisa GracewoodAuckland University Press, $29.99
A third great instalment of New
Zealand nonfiction curated by two of our sharpest readers.
Into the bush, out on the street
and all the way to the bottom of the sea, from marae to motorway to mausoleum,
this third collection of New Zealand’s best new nonfiction writing heads off in
pursuit of home, history and hard truths. Unfamiliar landscapes – Iceland,
Middle Earth, Westminster Abbey – mingle with familiar sensations – an old
song, the chlorine tang of a swimming pool, the taste of koko alaisa. Tell You
What: 2017 bears witness to the range and craft of our very best writers as
they show us how we live, where, and why.
Featuring the prose stylings of
Charlotte Grimshaw, Moana Maniapoto, Selina Tusitala Marsh, Ashleigh
Young, Greg Bruce, Dylan Cleaver, Adam Dudding, Amber Esau, Toni Nealie,
Sylvia Giles, Tom Goulter, Six, Tracey Slaughter, David Haywood, Lynn Jenner,
Nic Low, Maria McMillan, Talia Marshall, Jane Phare, Jenni Quilter, Rosabel
Tan, Giovanni Tiso, Kennedy Warne, Ali Ikram, Rebekah White and Dylan Horrocks.
