"My First Stabbing" by David Haywood - ltd. ed.

Limited edition copy of "My First Stabbing" by David Haywood, donated and signed by the author. Christchurch writer David Haywood began a university degree in 19th century literature, and ended up graduating with a Ph.D. in engineering.

David writes the Southerly column on PublicAddress.net, and recently published 'My First Stabbing', a collection of essays that encompasses such apparently unrelated subjects as the urination habits of Germans, the fatness of policemen in Boston, humble woodcutter's sons who marry women with big hair, and babies with projectile defecation.

"Apposite, biting and very funny."
-- Keri Hulme, Booker Prize-winning author of 'The Bone People'

"Hugely enjoyable... terribly, terribly funny."
-- Kim Hill, Radio New Zealand.

"One of the best new writers to come on the scene for quite a while."
-- Denis Welch, (former) Deputy-editor New Zealand Listener

"Pure gold."
-- Jolisa Gracewood, New Zealand Reviewer of the Year 2006
