Like nothing youve read before, How to Loiter in a Turf War is a lucid, genre-bending, cinematic work of fiction from one of Aotearoas most versatile artists. Its a day in the life of three friends beefing with their own city, Tamaki Makaurau. With gentrification closing in and racial tensions sweltering, the girls must cling to their friendship like a life raft, determined not to let their neighbourhood drift out to sea. Fast, ferociously brilliant, crack-up funny and unforgettably true. This book paints a picture of the Auckland I grew up in when waiting for the 025 to town was a gamble, and the answer to the question where are you from? was an essay, not a sentence.
