Unfortunately I arrive back in Auckland too late tonight to attend my old school mate @craigrobertson.bsky.social’s book launch but if you’re in Tāmaki Makaurau tonight pop into Real Groovy and celebrate the launch of the new Chris Knox biography. 🍻 #nzmusic #nzbooks #books #auckland

What is ‘cli-fi’ and why is it so hot right now?
A literary genre that's really heating up.
