      If you came to Sam Neill’s memoir without knowing the first thing about it, chapter one would hold a terrible shock. It begins amusingly enough: a lovely anecdote about his daughter Elena being asked at school when she was little about what her dad d

      The Social Misfit

      Selected Works

      When you stopped at the signal today, did you notice the slum children playing within their fragile, insecure compound walls (at most times, no walls dividing their shanties from the street)?
