This Fluid Thrill: Owen Marshall Month

Owen Marshall Month

To celebrate NZ Book Month, the recent launch of Owen Marshall's 13th short story collection*, Living as a Moon, and the fact I purchased it from Unity Books today, I hereby declare October Owen Marshall Month** on this blog.

Tomorrow I will post something general about short story collections, then throughout October I will drip-feed items about most recent Owen Marshall collections I have read, before reviewing Living as a Moon at the end of the month.

Promises, promises.

* I think my maths is right (9 proper stand-alone collections and 4 collections containing stories that appeared in other collections)

**random posts about kiwifruit notwithstanding.
