Jenna phones in to review the latest from award-winning authour Tina Makereti (Te Āti Awa, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngāti Rangatahi-Matakore, Pākehā). Makereti's newest work is a collection of essays titled This Compulsion Within Us is introspective and personal, whakarongo mai nei to hear Jenna's whakaaro on this week's recommended read! Thanks to our pals at Time Out Bookstore!
Jenna is gearing up for the busiest week in books with the Auckland Book Festival, Ockham Book Awards and reviews the ninth novel from Catherine Chidgey, The Book of Guilt.
Suri reviews the novella Stag Dance by Torrey Peters, the follow-up publication to Peters' Women's Prize-nominated Detransition, Baby. The novella is a collection of acidicly sharp short stories that trace the 'rough edges' of trans experiences. Suri highly recommends this read so whakarongo mai nei! Thanks to our friends at Time Out Bookstore.
Jenna reviews The Antidote by Karen Russell. Set in 1930s Nebraska, the author's latest book delves into collective memory (and forgetting), man-made environmental disaster, and the genocide of the native American nations of the mid-West. Thanks to Time Out Bookstore!
