Chuffed

I am very proud of my partner, Eleanor Catton, whose forthcoming novel, The Luminaries, was just longlisted for the 2013 Man Booker Prize!

All sources indicate that this year's judges have selected a suite of bold, experimental, and sophisticated novels.

The Luminaries will launch in NZ next weekend and in the UK and US soon to follow.

Stay tuned!
