Best New Zealand Fiction, The: Volume 2 Kidman, Fiona (ed) This second collection of stories and extracts from novels gives an invaluable snapshot of the state of New Zealand's current literature. It's full of characters as varied and lively as Tim, succumbing yet again to the lure of alcohol, the young fashion designer putting on her first show, and Xiong, facing yet another day selling kiwifruit. There are various places and times: from New Zealand today to Germany in 1933, to a dreamlike Arctic in a futuristic time. There are stories of pain and happiness, and of love and hate. Together they offer a rich diversity. Contributors include: Norman Bilbrough, William Brandt, David Eggleton, Chris Else, Fiona Farrell, Pierre Furlan, Charlotte Grimshaw, Karyn Hay, Eirlys Hunter, Witi Ihimaera, Kevin Ireland, Annamarie Jagose, Shonagh Koea, Tze Ming Mok, Paula Morris, Gregory O'Brien, Tony O'Brien, Vincent O'Sullivan, Elizabeth Smither and Philip Temple. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
