Winter issue New Zealand Books

The next issue of New Zealand Books will be in the shops today, 5 June. It’s issue 110, Winter.  Editors Harry Ricketss and Louise O’Brien say:

“Tina Makereti watches the becoming of Witi Ihimaera; W K (Bill) Hastings passes judgement on justice; Eirlys Hunter reality checks recent junior fiction; and Bryan Gould counts the cost of the free market. As well, there's a dose of cooking, criminals, cantos and cringe.”
