The Name On The Door Is Not Mine – C K Stead

READ FOR NZ BOOK AWARDS

A collection of short stories from literary giant CK Stead. The collection includes new, previously unpublished stories as well as older stories that have been reworked. Set in locations from the South of France, Zagreb, Oxford and back to New Zealand. 

◉ “If a reader of this book wasn’t aware prior, it would be immediately apparent upon reading this book that C K Stead is New Zealand literature royalty.

“There is an effortlessness and sophistication to this collection of short stories that renders them artful and poetic. Yet there is such an intense humanness too, it’s easy to feel connected to the array of protagonists, many of whom were struggling in the literary world.

“However, the most striking feature to me is the amount of content packed into each short story, ensuring those who prefer novels and weighty stories do not feel cheated, as I often do with the short story genre.” – Rachel
