Despatches (2023)
Lee Murray
"These are stories of the land, about the history and the geography of our odd nation. These are stories that invoke our remarkable blending of cultures. Colonisation and decolonisation stand side by side. The intertwining of Maori myth and oral history with the day-to-day practicalities of raising families in this twenty-first century capitalist world is one of the key threads that unify these stories as they bob and weave around social commentary, entertainment and pointed, bald and wry-even witty-observations. A supremely readable collection that deserves high recognition and a wide readership."
