Awa Press, Wellington, 2008, 180 pages. Good condition.

Well crafted and piercingly insightful, this collection of Steve Braunias’s 2007 interviews of New Zealand's famous and infamous—both publicity-seekers and those desperate to hide from the spotlight—is a humorous and biting survey of the national psyche. Ranging from the disturbingly naive to the gloriously vain, from food critics to politicians, these profiles are uniquely New Zealand focused.
