If you e-mail your bank details to me (phenningsgaard at yahoo dot com), I can transfer some money to you from my surviving Australian bank account. After all, you deserve to be compensated for the book and postage, not to mention your kindness.<br /><br />In the meantime, I will keep looking for a second copy of the book. One copy is good, but I would like to have two (one for me, and one for my student). But thanks so much for your help! I really, really appreciate it! And now that I've got your blog flowing to my Google RSS feed, I'll be sure to keep in better touch!Per H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36622997.post-344376314929309072011-01-02T15:54:47.782+13:002011-01-02T15:54:47.782+13:00Per H if you can let me have a postal address I ma...Per H if you can let me have a postal address I may be able to get a copy to you.<br />Happy New Year,Beattie's Book Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505389626725979100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36622997.post-21693933839614647612010-12-31T14:53:56.864+13:002010-12-31T14:53:56.864+13:00I commented on your blog a few years back, with re...I commented on your blog a few years back, with regard to a post about Jhumpa Lahiri. At the time, I was a postgraduate student of Australian literature at the University of Western Australia. In the intervening years, I have dropped in and checked on your blog every now and again, and I have also secured a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of English at a state university in the good ol' USA. I came back to your blog most recently because I am working on an independent study with an undergraduate student who is doing some comparative work between Australian and New Zealand indigenous literatures. I thought there might be some interesting comparisons to be made between Kim Scott's (Australian) "That Deadman Dance" and Witi Ihimaera's (New Zealand, obviously) "The Trowenna Sea". I'm not at all interested in the plagiarism controversy; instead, what interests me is that both books are by indigenous writers, were published in the last couple years, and explore stories associated with the founding of their respective nations. But I can't get my hands on a copy of "The Trowenna Sea" to pursue this interest any further. Any suggestions?Per H.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36622997.post-50542783273634557932010-11-22T10:06:57.234+13:002010-11-22T10:06:57.234+13:00Thank you for the good laugh Keri H.

It is an excellent broadsheet newspaper but in this respect they sure as hell are living in the past! It means of course that those living outside their circulation area, and that is everyone who lives outside NZ of course, is prevented from reading this material.Beattie's Book Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505389626725979100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36622997.post-45659189616117945402010-11-21T13:48:07.401+13:002010-11-21T13:48:07.401+13:00I was intrigued by your references to NZ book revi...I was intrigued by your references to NZ book reviews in the Sunday Star Times and went looking...<br />I couldn't find the reviews on any of the links next to the story about Witi Ihimaera so I tried Entertainment. I got very tired of trolling through enigmatic headlines which turned out to be about film or whatever instead of the books/authors I was interested in. <br />I'd love to subscribe to their 'Books" menu because I'm interested in NZ literature - but where is it? <br />Lisa Hill, ANZ LitLovers, Melbourne AustraliaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
