I Think We Should Go Into The Jungle - Barbara Anderson

Barbara Anderson’s first book. A collection of short stories. 1989 Wattie Award Finalist 1990 NZ Book Award Finalist ‘Never portentous, never trivial, marvellously comic but with grey skeins of pathos, this is surely among the most powerful collections of stories produced in New Zealand. Its unerring economy of effects suggests at times the quality of a Flaubert, a Patrick White, a Grace Paley. To have achieved such brilliance in a first book is remarkable.’ —Ian Reid, Listener Victoria University Press, 1989, this copy a 1993 reprint. Paperback, 184 pages. Condition: secondhand paperback in fair condition. Top rear corner of spine torn (see photos).
