Some more press for the novel: more from Bookman Beattie and even something from Girls'DayOut365. I took my niece to the Girls' Day Out event a few years ago at the Auckland Showgrounds: according to TVNZ, it's New Zealand's "largest and most successful female marketing event." We like female marketing events. We are easily sucked in.
I'd provide the link to the Listener review, but they are lazy and haven't updated the site with this week's issue. The review's written by Jolisa Gracewood, who won reviewer of the last year at the Montana New Zealand Book Awards. (I was a finalist, i.e. loser).
I wrote another Toni Morrison entry but lost it - more tomorrow.
Hey, you're not a loser! Why, you're the very important runner-up. If for any reason I should be unable to fulfil my duties, the crown is yours. And I fully expect you to wrest it from me this year.
The review is (or will be) here: http://www.listener.co.nz/issue/3493/artsbooks/8643/my_manhattan.html
And just to get totally recursive, here's a review of the review ;-)
