The latest short story collection from Kiwi poet, playwright, editor and critic, Murray Edmond, Aucklanders celebrates lives lived in New Zealand’s biggest city. Through different time-settings and narrative styles, these tales are variously entertaining, funny, satirical, reflective and tragic.

Praise for Aucklanders:

They, the stories and their characters, also tell tales, very good ones, but their remarkable character comes from a kind of social energy, a vivacity and diversity that has the cantankerous life-hum of the many-voiced multi-cultured city they inhabit and celebrate.

- Ian Wedde

[Aucklanders] scrutinises the lives of city dwellers and reveals the guilt and conscience uneasily awake under the sheets.

- Brian Potiki
