The Love School: Personal Essays by Elizabeth Knox

"The Love School collects more than twenty years' of Elizabeth Knox's non-fiction. These frank and revealing essays and talks tell the story of her writing s beginnings in childhood imaginary games played with her sisters and friends; of leaving home and working at Inland Revenue to earn money to write; of the writing and putting away of the two novels that came before her prize-winning debut, After Z-Hour, in 1987; and of the extraordinary novels which followed. Here is Wellington in the eighties: lives led in now demolished buildings, the pastimes and politics of the period described with vivid particularity, passion, wisdom and a sense of the absurd. ".
