Kōhine by Colleen Maria Lenihan Tokyo is a humming backdrop to an array of outsiders: a young woman arrives to work as a stripper, the manager of a love hotel hatches a sleazy plan, a spirit wanders Harajuku, and a mother embarks on...

Am LOVING this book - Colleen Maria Lenihan's debut, 'Kōhine'.

Catherine Chidgey just never misses, easily one of my favourite writers. Perfectly snappy but descriptive and such interesting stories - her writing sucks you in quick and doesn't let u go really ever #aotearoabooks #pukapuka

If you are an NZ writer or publisher (or adjacent) who is appalled by the genocide taking place in Gaza, please join me in signing this open letter, demanding our government take concerted action to call it out.

Lots of current activity in AoNZ is because of political decisions or has political impacts. More low key posts may be on other media.

There's also Aotearoa New Zealand #books feed.
