Moonshine Eggs — Russell Haley

Moonshine Eggs is the third novel in a trilogy of works based around the whimsical and comedic character of Harry Rejekt. Inseparable from his dog and his inherited crumbling farmhouse, Harry dreams of worldly travel whilst rarely venturing out from the Waikato country town where he lives. Adventure and love, gypsy friends, a Japanese backpacker, and various eccentrics find him though, pottering about and nurturing the small plot of land he calls home. Haley uses his often very funny sentences to traverse and transgress the borders between the real and the imaginary. Moonshine Eggs deploys the best of Haley's highly original qualities. — Ian Wedde I love the way his fiction presents us with a different New Zealand. — Roger Horrocks
