Commonwealth Writers Prize judges
Simply the best new collection of short stories I have read in an age.
Nicholas Reid
A Man Melting heralds the arrival of an electrifying new voice on the New Zealand writing scene. These stories are perfectly formed, standalone gems, but the collection also brings together satisfying harmonies as a whole.
The New Zealand Herald
unforgettable, encapsulates what the best short story should do: resonate and hone how we see our world.
Angela Readman, The Short Review
Gorgeous insanity is the purview of Craig Cliff.
Kylie Klein-Nixon, Kapi-Mana News
Cliff's quarry is the human heart and he hones in on it with fierce accuracy.
Kate Duigan, Landfall
