| Description | He tried to save New Zealand by becoming Helen Clark's young lover. He failed. Now, Richard Meros is back, with a new nuclear Powerpoint to prove. The number-8 wire nation faces extinction, our pioneer culture eclipsed by the globalised Fonterra farmer with a Facebook account. Meros alone holds the key to our salvation - the craggy New Zealand hardness that still glimmers within the most urbane of latte-drinkers. The Spirit of the Southern Man. There will be politicking and merchandise, so bring cash. Adapted from the book by Richard Meros. | ||||||||||||||||
