He's kept us waiting for 13 years, but Owen Marshall, one of our finest short story writers, has just put out a new collection, Return to Harikoa Bay.
The characters in the 33 stories are often unnervingly familiar, wherever they live and whatever their situation.
That's part of Owen's magic touch as a writer of stories firmly planted in Aotearoa.
He's also a novelist, poet and anthologist, with his name on the title of 30 books.
Lynn Freeman talks with Owen, first welcoming him back to our book shelves!
Return to Harikoa Bay, Owen Marshall's new short story collection, is published by Random House NZ Vintage.
