Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In this poetic, elliptical, and deeply moving coming-of-age novel, the story of Holly, daughter of a powerful and charismatic father and socially anxious mother, is one about the fate of beauty and attractiveness. With nuanced characters and colorful settings, the novel's narrative shifts smartly from the present to the influential past, blurring the line between the two. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Book
Paperback. Condition: Good. A young violin prodigy grows up in Harbin and Shanghai amidst the absurd and often deadly politics of mid-century China. Under the dual influences of her revolutionary parents and her White Russian intellectual tutors (who provide her with a link-personal and tragic-to the composer Dmitri Shostakovich), she is drawn into a precarious world of ideology and espionage where music must serve not only the masses, but also the unpredictable whims and grand strategies of great leaders. Moving between China, Europe, and New Zealand, the young protagonist learns how music and its artifacts link individuals across time in a chain alternately transcendent and tragic. She also encounters the compromises that talent, fate, and family force upon her. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. All around us, life is both teeming and vanishing. How do we live in this place of so many others and so many last things? How to Live With Mammals is not a book of instruction but a book of reimagining and a book of longing. In these funny and often poignant poems, Ash Davida Jane asks how we might reorient ourselves, and our ways of loving one another, as the futures that we once imagined grow ever more precarious. 'Urgent, funny and tender: these poems shine.' -Louise Wallace All around us, life is both teeming and vanishing.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There's Di, waking up in hospital, feeling scrubbed raw. Ritchie and Willy, toasting their dead friend with ginger beer. Kiri, frantically searching for a lost child. Ember Eyes, with his goat and his too-powerful gun. Rachel clambering up a cliff face. Ellen and her friends bashing through the bush. Loosely centred on three generations of the Carlton family and told with restrained lyricism, Peninsula is a set of ten interwoven stories about the lives of an ordinary rural Northland farming community over decades of change. It's a community populated with stoic, fierce characters who brim with feeling, embroiled in rich and complex relationships with the land, and with one another. Though it is full of the familiar - peacocks, thistles, tramping huts - it is also a place of dreaming. Peninsula, by newcomer Sharron Came, won the 2021 Adam Foundation Prize and introduces a new voice in New Zealand fiction. 'This stunning book casts an unusual spell. At first blush it all seems as New Zealandy as sheep dogs, septic tanks and muting the TV when visitors arrive. Then you notice the creeping poetry of lives coping with change and how this vividly imagined world of tramping huts, bush runs and squash clubs contains other worlds. Sharron Came is writing from deep intimacy with the rural community she summons on the page. Her terse, funny and hugely poignant stories restore a sense of possibility to the future without turning away from its terrors.' -Damien Wilkins 'This superbly crafted collection reaches deep into the heart of family, community and place. It is a measure of Sharron Came's skill that the rural Northland landscape and the complex, deeply human characters co-exist in perfect equilibrium. I loved this book.' -Laurence Fearnley Theres Di, waking up in hospital, feeling scrubbed raw. Ritchie and Willy, toasting their dead friend with ginger beer. Kiri, frantically searching for a lost child. Ember Eyes, with his goat and his too-powerful gun. Rachel clambering up a cliff face. Ellen and her friends bashing through the bush.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Women and girls walk a perilously thin line between ruin and redemption in these stories as they try-with varying degrees of success-to outmanouver the violence that threatens to define their lives. There's the physical violence of men against their bodies-and sometimes the violence they exact in revenge. While doubts about a romantic partner, an abandonment by a sister, the fallout of a parent's pornography addiction, the betrayal of a friend, even the desire to touch a stranger's fur-like body are subtler aggressions that pack their own kinds of punches. Moving between contemporary New Zealand and London, and a dreamlike landscape that isn't quite real, this debut collection shimmers with a brutal kind of hope, exploring power and its contortions, powerlessness and its depravities, and the ends to which we will go to claim back agency. 'Ruin is a machine for the exposure and exploration of power. It turns the intricacy and activity of relationship over in the cogs of its deft craft. It's an incredible confirmation of what short fiction can do and be: beautiful, confronting, validating.' -Pip Adam, author of The New Animals and Nothing to See 'There is a smart delicacy to these taut and unnerving stories. Hislop's characters are caught in riptides of desire, betrayal, loss, often treading dark water before they realise any place of safety is a long way off.' -Anthony Lapwood, author of Home Theatre Emma Hislop (Kai Tahu) is a Taranaki-based writer. Her work has appeared in literary journals and anthologies in New Zealand and overseas, including Action Spectacle, Sport, Huia, Newsroom and Takahe. She has a Masters of Creative Writing from the IIML and in 2021 received the Creative New Zealand Louis Johnson New Writers Bursary. Women and girls walk a perilously thin line between ruin and redemption in these stories as they trywith varying degrees of successto outmanouver the violence that threatens to define their lives.

Book
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Te Kaihau | The Windeater was launched at the inaugural New Zealand Arts Festival Writers and Readers Week in March 1986, four months after The Bone People won the 1985 Booker Prize. These 20 stories were written over more than a decade and range from widely anthologised classics like the novella-length 'Te Kaihau' itself, 'Hooks and Feelers' and 'One Whale, Singing', to stories seldom encountered outside these pages. One, 'A Drift in Dream', offers a pre-bone people glimpse of Simon and his family. 'To match the variety of forms and the exuberance of the language, the characters tumble out at you, energetically grabbing hold of your imagination. Sometimes mysterious, allusive, reflective, sometimes jaunty, rollicking, careless . . . and sometimes tugging you fearfully towards a world you'd rather not enter, then making you glad you did.' -Renee, Broadsheet (1986) 'An extraordinarily rich experience of the natural world. That this experience often includes unforgettable images of danger implicates the threat with wonder, the bleak vision with the garrulous humour-a tone inimitably Keri Hulme's.' -Ian Wedde, New Zealand Listener (1986) 'Te Kaihau|The Windeater invites you to be a risky reader. You won't be disappointed.' -Harry Ricketts, Dominion (1986) Te Kaihau | The Windeater was launched at the inaugural New Zealand Arts Festival Writers and Readers Week in March 1986, four months after The Bone People won the 1985 Booker Prize.
