Publisher's Summary
Like nothing you’ve heard before, How to Loiter in a Turf War is a lucid, genre-bending cinematic work of fiction from one of Aotearoa’s most versatile artists, read by the author herself.
It’s a day in the life of three friends beefing with their own city, Tamaki Makaurau. With gentrification closing in and racial tensions sweltering, the girls must cling to their friendship like a life raft, determined not to let their neighbourhood drift out to sea.
Fast, ferociously brilliant, crack-up funny and unforgettably true.
What the critics say
"This book paints a picture of the Auckland I grew up in—when waiting for the 025 to town was a gamble, and the answer to the question ‘where are you from?’ was an essay, not a sentence. Like everything she makes, Coco Solid imbues this book with fierce intelligence, laser-sharp specificity and cosmic warmth." (Rose Matafeo)
"This is one of the most exciting books I’ve ever read. A celebration and a challenge and an impressive work of art and intelligence." (Pip Adam)
