What a good title for my first post of the new year; I hope that is what I will be able to do in 2011.Also a very apt title for an edited book of interviews with writers about their art and their inspiration. Three of my favourite New Zealand authors are included in this book: Elizabeth Smither, Kate De Goldi and Fiona Farrell and their interviews by David Hill, Kim Hill and Iain Sharpe respectively are considered, articulate, insightful and enlightening. Siobhan Harvey's introduction is well worth the read too for its discussion of literature as part of a nation's heritage.
Her revival in this book of the literary interview should appeal to all who like to attend literary events and book festivals.
