These book memoirs record half a century writing and sometimes publishing 51 Kiwi social histories, some fictional, some best-sellers, some footnotes, reviews from savage to sublime, and strong reactions:
- Muldoon threatens prison
- Helen Clark sends warm congratulations
- Mike Hosking asks who is the clown in the kilt
- Kim Hill supposes marriage
- Carmen says thanks and Kiri no thanks
- Jason Gunn enjoys a joke, John Clarke an imaginary quote
- All Blacks duck for cover
‘I was so arrested by what is really a history of the author’s writing and publishing life that I couldn’t put it down and read it in one long sitting yesterday.’
