FOOL'S PARADISE takes you back to New Zealand the way it used to be and the way it often still is. Steve Braunias, the award-winning Deputy Editor of the New Zealand Listener, writes about places and things in New Zealand in a fresh, lyrical way. He can be funny, sad, serious, cruel and a complete jackass - and sometimes all of those in one piece. Some of his recurrent topics are tearooms, mangroves, small New Zealand towns and death. FOOL'S PARADISE collects together a selection of Steve's weekly columns along with new material.
