Dear Charles, Dear Janet Frame & Brasch in Correspondence

Devonport is the first in THE SIGNALMAN'S HOUSE Series in which The Holloway Press, in association with the University of Auckland and the Michael King Centre, plans to publish a work by each of the annual fellows who occupy the Signalman's House on Mount Victoria in Devonport, the home of the Michael King Centre. Devonport: A Diary (which is accompanied by Esplanade, a brief related fiction) is a lively, thoughtful and idiosyncratic collocation of observations on landscape and culture, reflections on writing and a spirited record of daily living in a rich marine, domestic and urban environment new to the returning New Zealander.
