Dominic Hoey is a poet, author and youth worker from Tāmaki Makaurau.
1985 is Dominic’s highly anticipated third novel. Set in pre-gentrified Auckland, it follows the story of Obi, who faces impending teenagehood after a childhood marked by poverty, dysfunctional family dynamics, (dis)organised crime and violence.
