30 AUGUST No Fretful Sleeper: Paul Millar
Bill Pearson’s homosexuality forced on him a life of contradiction and secrecy in a society that had ‘no place for the man who is different.’ In his acclaimed new biography, Paul Millar examines the pressures that shaped the author of Coal Flat and ‘Fretful Sleepers’ – Pearson’s famous critique of Kiwi conformity – and fills in the background with Mark Williams.
