BookCrossing in Memory of Bronwyn Tate, New Zealand Writer & Teacher
April 30, 2005
Just a reminder that the first week in May will find many books appearing all over New Zealand, as BookCrossers honour author and teacher Bronwyn Tate, who died in Palmerston North on 25 February. The event has been organized by BookCrossing's own
LisaEm.
‘It is a particularly appropriate tribute to a woman who was very committed to New Zealand books. Bronwyn promoted them whenever she could. She was an inspiration to many emerging writers, a woman of great humour, and a vital voice in New Zealand writing.’
Bronwyn Tate’s novels include Leaving for Townsville, Russian Dolls, Halfway to Africa and Lily’s Cupola. A fifth novel was completed shortly before her death, and will be published at a later date. She taught creative writing at Massey University from 2002. She also wrote and reviewed a variety of other publications.
BookCrossers around the world are encouraged to participate in this event by choosing either one of Bronwyn Tate’s books or a novel by another New Zealand author to release. Organisers hope this will encourage people to read more New Zealand fiction. For more information, see this article.
