Spitshine: Short stories
The author of 'MEAN' and 'Hot Bible!' spins 16 new yarns. It's literary fiction, told by bad buggers. The theme of Spitshine is comparable to the mission of journalists: to 'Afflict the comfortable; comfort the afflicted.' Early reviews of 'Spitshine' responded to the book thus: "16 short stories from a writer considered one of the most original story writers of his generation in New Zealand. It is a generous selection of work: smart, wry, humorous and very stylish." - Patricia Prime, Takahe 86 "Heartbreaking and heartwarming. Like in his previous collection 'Mean, ' Botur uses authentic street language and slang to perfectly portray real life." - Rebekah Fraser, NZ Booklovers
