Then It Was Now Again : Selected Critical Writing

To read this selection from Murray Edmond's essays, reviews, interviews and letters is to take a ride through forty years of New Zealand's cultural, social and political history. Discussions of esoteric art theories, polemical interventions in literary spats, eyewitness accounts of political tumult, and anecdotes from the author's private life are equally at home in this book, as Edmond carries us from the revolutionary era of his youth into the world of the twenty-first century. "Gathered together I think they make one of the most important contributions to a critical writing we have seen in this country for some decades." - Peter Simpson. Large. 324 pages.
