Buchanan, Jeff

Suckling Feijoas

Not so long ago in provincial New Zealand, anyone who was identified as homosexual was treated as an outcast. This entertaining and revealing first novel follows the lives of three gay men in New Zealand during the 1940s, 60s and 80s. This richly rewarding novel places Buchanan alongside the likes of big names such as Janet Frame, Witi Imimaera and Noel Virtue.
