Native Son : The Writer's Memoir
Paperback Edition: 1
This is the second memoir of a remarkable Maori writer and of the living myths that inspired him at the beginning of his career.
But behind that joyful smile, and the image of a writer footing it in the Pakeha world, there is another narrative, one that Witi has not told before. The story of a native son, struggling to find a place, a voice and an identity, and to put a secret past to rest. This sequel to the award-winning memoir Maori Boy picks up where it stopped, following Witi through his triumphs and failures at school and university, to experimenting sexually, searching for love and purpose and to becoming our first Maori novelist.
