MIKE JOHNSON

A collection of three startling novellas from one of New Zealand's most exciting authors. Like his earlier LEAR The Shakespeare Company Plays Lear at Babylon and ANTIBODY POSITIVE, these are powerful and challenging works. The sixties and departure, the seventies and dislocation, the eighties and recollection . . . sad, hilarious, sharply observant about what it is to be a stranger abroad and a foreigner at home.
