Thursday at 9.05pm
Journalist Finlay Macdonald presents a four-part series exploring
the stories behind a dozen notable New Zealand books.
Incorporating a compelling mix of new interviews, archive and in-the-field exploration, the series covers a dizzying range of books and styles - including Tim Shadbolt's '70s rebel diatribe Bullshit and Jellybeans, Margaret Mahy's children's classic A Lion in the Meadow, David Lange's memoir My Life and Janet Frame's Owls Do Cry.
