On this episode we discuss our July 2023 book club pick The Imaginary Lives of James Poneke by Tina Makereti. A coming-of-age story of a Maori boy, armed with a British education and eager to see the world, who ventures to London to be a living exhibit for a British artist’s exhibition. It’s an epic tale written in the style of Victorian fiction, but told from the perspective of an indigenous youth growing up under colonization.
