Ian Wedde's Dick Seddon's Great Dive and Other Stories traces a passionate relationship amidst the vibrant, yet turbulent, 1970s New Zealand counterculture. Shifting between Bethells Beach and Port Chalmers, the characters navigate a landscape of parties, drugs, and self-discovery.
However, the true history of the land and the dispossession of its original owners casts a long shadow, pressing the narrative toward its inevitable, tragic conclusion. This collection explores themes of identity, loss, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Experience a poignant exploration of love and history in Aotearoa.
