ISBN: 9780908321490 PUBLISHER: Bridget Williams Books FORMAT: Paperback

PUBLICATION DATE: 5.10.2015

DESCRIPTION: So here I am walking again an old path made new by the very fact that I am upon it once more, accompanied by familiar hordes: the fecund majority of the dead, the myriad of the living in all of their many forms, defunct, mutant, revenant or otherwise, traversing memory's infinite field.In the evocative prose that makes him one of our finest writers, Martin Edmond recalls his experiences of growing up in rural New Zealand in the 1950s and 60s. The son of schoolteachers, Edmond's early life was shaped by his father's developing career and the moves it dictated: from Ohakune, to Greytown, to Huntly, to Heretaunga.The Dreaming Land shows us the making of a thinker and a writer. Edmond documents the people, locations, and events that made a lasting impression on him, and maps the development of his mental landscape - a landscape marked by curiosity, empathy and the capacity for acute observation.It is a book that is at once personal and universal, charting formative moments yet filled with details that resonate more broadly. The Dreaming Land pushes at the boundaries of what can be remembered to create a narrative which absorbs, illuminates and enchants.
