More than ten years ago, this young guy came up to me and said he wanted to be a writer - and now he’s written a beautiful, heartfelt, comedic, gloriously readable novel called #100remarkablefeatsofxandermaze ... I’m so happy for him, and proud of him...and not just because @clay_zane_writes is a tremendous writer, he’s just an all round loveable huggable human being. If you scroll through the photos, you’ll see I went back to basics and produced an old mz special by way of congratulations: a handmade book - which is one hell of a dubious honour. If you’re after a book that’s achingly beautiful, full of laughter and brings your spirit to life, go and grab a #xandermaze from @bouquinistekiama or @dymocksbooks or anywhere else in Australia.
