So, our podcast discussion predicted correctly. Okay, okay, the other three participants in our podcast discussion predicted correctly and I got it completely wrong. Let’s not quibble over details. Congratulations, Paula Morris, who was Fiction winner at last night’s New Zealand Post Book Awards for Rangatira. (Congratulations, too, to Sue Orr, whose From Under the Overcoat was the People’s Choice.) To wrap up this month’s Book Club coverage of the fiction finalists, here’s my podcast interview with Morris recorded this afternoon. No need for our usual-style wrap-up of the month’s comments, because there were only two and you can read them here. That’s fine – if you don’t want to talk I am happy to monopolise the conversation.
