NZ LISTENER SEPT.4
My two favourite quotes from this issue are:

The concluding paragraph an excellent four page story by David Larsen on best-selling British fantasy novelist Terry Pratchett who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's:

My idea of a good death would be for my wife or my PA to find me slumped over the computer. And I've instructed them that before they do anything else they should save the work in progress.

And from the  Quips & Quotes column:

Small boy's definition of Father's Day:" It's just like Mother's Day only you don't spend so much."


Also on the book scene in this issue there are reviews of Once Upon a Time in Aotearoa by Tina Makereti (Huia $30) and Gunshot Road by Adrian Hyland (Text $39)
