Riassunto

This volume is a candid and intimate survey of the life and work of 12 of New Zealand's most acclaimed writers: Patricia Grace, Tessa Duder, Owen Marshall, Philip Temple, David Hill, Joy Cowley, Vincent O’Sullivan, Albert Wendt, Marilyn Duckworth, Chris Else, Fiona Kidman, and Witi Ihimaera. Constructed as Q&As with experienced oral historian Deborah Shepard, this book offers insight into the careers of those considered "elders" of New Zealand literature. In addition to writing advice and career ups and downs, the authors share stories about the enabling and symbiotic role of editors and publishers, showing how key industry figures have played a critical role in shaping New Zealand’s literary landscape. They address universal themes: the death of parents and loved ones, the good things that come with ageing, the components of a satisfying life, and much more.
