Issue 7: My review pointing out racism gets taken down

Welcome to the seventh edition of Scuttlebook! Glad to have you here. 

This month I’m telling the story of the time I reviewed a novel by a white NZ author that I considered to be racist. My review was published, but when the author complained my editors folded and took my review down. Then I complained, and so the cycle of weird fights about NZ book reviews was born anew.

These editions of Scuttlebook, available only to you, my precious paying subscribers, are my favourite to write. Let’s get stuck in.
