Special Fields
DescriptionFish'n'chip Shop Song contains stories that evoke the South Island landscape as well as the New Zealand urban expanse. Stories that take surprising turns as they explore such things as 'saving' a pet parrot, a fruiterer's true love, a return to Crete, an anticipated seduction and the dreams of a suburban mercenary. There are characters to charm and alarm the reader, characters that are startlingly different and characters that are just like us. There are songs of love and tales of loss, there's humour and there's poignancy. Each beautifully told story resonates with a moving depth of emotional understanding. Author descriptionCarl Nixon is a full-time writer of short fiction and plays. His recent works for theatre includes an adaptation of The Book of Fame and another of J.M. Coetzee's Booker Prize winner DISGRACE. He lives in Christchurch with his young family. |
