Man Down is very much a story for the times, and not just in New Zealand. While Kiwi readers will appreciate its local touches — the pompous dipping into Te Reo by certain characters, for instance — all of us in the Western world can enjoy its sharp barbs at bien pensant, middle-brow left-intellectualism, the obsessions with statues and “decolonisation”, the decline of book-reading.
Today we are announcing the three winners of a copy of Man Down a novel by one of our own, John Black who writes a weekly column for Insight Politics on The BFD.
There was one draw for Basic and Bronze members, one for Silver members and one for Gold and Platinum members.
