The New Land

A Picture Book
BILL MANHIRE
Exhilarating and technically adventurous, these stories mix documentary realism with lively technical experiment; they survey the past, the present and some alarming futures. All the stories in The New Land are designed to cast light on New Zealand — on colonialism and the slow, uneasy often illusory' stages through which a country passes on its way to nationhood.
Bill Manhire is Reader in English at Victoria University of Wellington and a highly acclaimed poet.
This is his first short story collection.
