Two of my favourite NZ books of recent vintage - this and AUDITION by @pipadam.bsky.social - have been published in the States this month. Both urgent, challenging and rewarding. Check them out, Ameri-friends.
It’s publication day in the US for The Royal Free. I’m so proud of this book and grateful to be with Counterpoint Press who published geniuses like Ballard and Janet Frame in the US, and Evan Connell and David Markson. Thank you. I’m a lucky man.
