Landfall 229

Meer over het boek

And Wystan Curnow turns in a scabrous, rollicking, chuckling-up-his-sleeve satire on vampires in New Zealand. There's fiction from Katy Soljak, Sandra Arnold and Sean Monaghan; and Emma Neale humorously agonises about how to begin a short story. Owen Marshall describes a not-so-perfect book launch, Nick Ascroft offers darting, somersaulting word-play in a British multicultural supermarket, and Louise Wallace visits Arizona. There's much more, of course, including radical, innovative poetic texts by John Geraets, Ivy Alvarez and Iain Britton, and erotic or sensual reveries and provocations from Sue Reidy, Rata Gordon, Stephanie Christie, Alice Miller and Terence Rissetto, among others. There's also Landfall's trademark mix of authoritative and telling reviews by some of New Zealand's most discerning critical voices: Tim Corballis, Nicholas Reid, Tina Shaw, Maggy Rainey-Smith, Siobhan Harvey and Denis Harold.
