Reviews

The freshness of ‘Something Else’ - besides Sally Griffin's lovely, expressionist illustrations at the head of each chapter - is that it tells a story from our recent history that has seldom been told. New Zealand Books

One reason the book is remarkable is the language. It is classical but manages to describe hip better than hip. A good time to do a recall. Jacqueline Fahey
