Shirley Hazzard Interview

Shirley Hazzard is interviewed in the "New Zealand Listener" by Denis Welch. "Shirley Hazzard may just be the best-kept secret in English literature today. The Australian novelist writes prose with the poet's gift of knowing exactly what to leave out, and when. In its oblique grace her style has, sadly, an almost old-fashioned ring now, but fellow writers like Michael Cunningham and Joan Didion are enraptured by it."
