Hold My Teeth While I Teach You to Dance
"Investigative journalist Jason Argonaut is not content to rest on his laurels and dream of past glories. No, he has to take too great an interest in his fascinating new neighbours, play the Grandfather Detective, and find himself in possession of the world best kept secret - or is it?"--Back cover.
Timelights
Part prose-poetry, part visual essay, Timelights informs, entertains, questions, philosophises and reminisces as it carries the reader through its exploration of memory, place, and meaning. Follow the narrative from the turning winds blowing through a Māori cemetery, to melting snow in the mountains of Japan, to the gritty sights and smells of Sydney's streets. Timelights leaves the reader feeling oddly melancholic, reflecting on the passage of time; but may also cause euphoria.
Piripai
Piripai is natural history as prose poetry. It is a story of place, time and a subtle coming of age on the sand dunes between the river and the sea. The book is structured around twenty-six birds that inhabited Piripai, and ordered according to the time of year, beginning in spring and ending in winter. It is suffused with observation and memory, conveyed in a stripped-back style that both evokes and abstracts. Through the eyes of the book's three characters - the girl, the woman, and the man - we learn about their family, their culture, their birds and the rough, beautiful land they call home.

Counterpart

A House With No Windows

Driftdead
At the end of the world, Keatown is already struggling for existence. Then come the driftdead! Dead like zombies, but with no interest in eating human flesh, and driven by a force beyond hunger. "Driftdead is as canny a book about the uncanny as you would want to read. Past and future stream; our catastrophic present is registered with hallucinatory clarity: haunting characters from a small Aotearoan town speak the rhapsodies of their passing from a dreamland where beauty and horror orbit each other in the eye of an incorrigibly domestic storm. It is disturbing and salutary in equal measure; philosophically astute; a slow burn which generates terrific suspense. Mike Johnson has written a classic." - Martin Edmond.
