Well crafted and piercingly insightful, this collection of Steve Braunias's 2007 interviews of New Zealand's famous and infamous--both publicity-seekers and those desperate to hide from the spotlight--is a humorous and biting survey of the national psyche. Ranging from the disturbingly naïve to the gloriously vain, from food critics to politicians, these profiles are uniquely New Zealand focused.

The Man Who Ate Lincoln Road

By: Steve Braunias

The discovery that one street in Auckland was lined with 55 food joints got Steve Braunias thinking. Could one man eat the lot in a single year? Was it possible, was it wise, and was it something that might actually provide an understanding about a nation devoted to eating junk food? This is the journal of his quest. It's a rich comedy set in McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway, Dunkin' Donuts and other franchises, one after another, one step at a time, told by a hero for our times"--Back cover.

Smoking in Antarctica

Selected Writing

By: Steve Braunias

Steve Braunias shines in this superb selection of new writing. Starting with the election of the Key government, the multiple award-winning writer commentates with devastating directness on the devious ways of politicians, the effects of the recession on ordinary New Zealanders, and the notorious murders that shocked us to the core. On a lighter note, he relates his adoration of birds, his detestation of 'truly horrible food' (columns which brought countless contributions from readers) and the 'hell' of his much-vaunted stay in Antarctica. Threaded throughout - and reported with disarming honesty - is Braunias's own journey as a journalist and would-be novelist. Above all, he writes about his young daughter in moving columns that have won him many new readers and admirers.
