You can read an early review of The Stories of Bill Manhire on The Spinoff:
"There's alchemy at work here; a fiery energy in the spaces between stories. The volume delivers a sassy one-finger salute to any concern about staleness in re-issued fiction."
Q&A with Bill Manhire here.
THE STORIES OF BILL MANHIRE collects the stories from The New Land: A Picture Book (1990) and those added to South Pacific (1994) and Songs of My Life (1996). In addition there are previously uncollected and unpublished stories, the choose-your-own-adventure novella The Brain of Katherine Mansfield (1988), and the memoir Under the Influence (2003).
