Delirious New Lynn is the record of an obsession with an unnavigable backwater, a voracious drift down various culs-de-sac, an anti-psychogeography, a map of the schisms between mind and place, a poetics of trash, a rummage through the wastelands of Neoliberalism, a scavenger-hunt for meaning and nothingness, coincidence and randomness, beauty and ugliness, comedy and tragedy, comfort and horror, magnificence and absurdity, and spirituality too. Above all, it is a profusion of lists and digressions. Writing history in Aotearoa is no less than an acrobatic affair. Yes, because of the politics. Oscar offers to wash off our mouths the taste of the white man's seriously told historical lies with his mischievously told historical facts. Historian meets histrion on 115gsm paper. Learn all about the truly para-significant landmarks of New Lynn, its roundabouts, its brown lands, its maccas, and so many others worth omitting, all from one overdesigned coffee table book you can impress other people who can read with.
