Shelf Life

Reviews, Replies and Reminiscences

Beschreibung

A lifetime of literary insights from a New Zealand master. Every morning for the last thirty years, C. K. Stead has written fiction and poetry. Shelf Life collects the best of his afternoon work: reviews and essays, interviews and diaries, lectures and opinion pieces. In this collection, Stead takes the reader through nine essays in 'the Mansfield file', collects works of criticism and review in 'book talk', writes in the 'first person' about everything from David Bain to Parnell, and finally offers some recent reflections on poetic laurels from his time as New Zealand poet laureate. For readers of New Zealand literature, literary criticism, and anyone interested in the creative process, Shelf Life offers a unique and insightful journey through the mind of one of New Zealand's most prominent writers.
