C. K. Stead told the story of his first twenty-three years in \u003ci\u003eSouth-West of Eden\u003c\/i\u003e. In this second volume of his memoirs, Stead takes us from the moment he left New Zealand for a job in rural Australia, through study abroad, writing and a university career, until he left the University of Auckland to write full time aged fifty-three. It is a tumultuous tale of literary friends and foes (Curnow and Baxter, A. S. Byatt and Barry Humphries, and many more) and of navigating a personal and political life through the social change of the 1960s and 70s. And, at its heart, it is an account of a remarkable life among books--of writing and reading, critics and authors, students and professors. From Booloominbah to Menton, \u003ci\u003eThe New Poetic\u003c\/i\u003e to\u003ci\u003e All Visitors Ashore\u003c\/i\u003e, from Vietnam to the Springbok Tour, C. K.
