Jameson, Dick Whyte and Laurence Stacey, and Ulrich Haarburste. Its most notable release is Richard Meros' On the condition and possibilities of Helen Clark taking me as Her Young Lover.[5] In 2016 they released Brannavan Gnanalingam's 'A Briefcase, Two Pies and a Penthouse', which was long-listed for novel of the year in New Zealand's Ockham Book Awards[11]. The following year, Gnanalingam's 'Sodden Downstream' was short-listed for the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards novel of the year[12]. Both of their 2017 novels - Milk Island and Sodden Downstream - received critical acclaim. Milk Island was judged as the fifth best book of 2017 by the Spinoff[13], while Sodden Downstream was described by the same publication as 'surely the best local novel of 2017 by a long stretch. No other novel comes close to achieving such a close examination of life in New Zealand right now.'[14] References1. ^1 Lang, Sarah (2014) 'Uber Cool and has a social conscience' Capital Magazine April pp. 60-62 2. ^Burgess, Malcolm (2011) 'Small and Cheekily Formed' The Dominion Post, May 11. 3. ^Dalgleish, Jodie (2011) 'Generation Xperimental' Landfall Review Online October http://www.landfallreview.com/2011/10/generation-xperimental.html?q=Lawrence+and+Gibson 4. ^Cohen, David (2008) 'Mystery Man' NZ Listener 9 August http://www.listener.co.nz/uncategorized/mystery-man/ 5. ^1 Manhire, Toby (2005) 'A love poem to NZ's PM' 21 June https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/jun/21/religion.uk 6. ^Finnermore, Sam (2011) 'Privatising Parts by Richard Meros and Getting Under Sail by Brannavan Gnanalingam review' http://www.listener.co.nz/culture/books/privatising-parts-by-richard-meros-and-getting-under-sail-by-brannavan-gnanalingam-review/ 7. ^Richards, Lily (2013) 'Life in a Day' NZ Listener 20 June 8. ^Dennerstein, Natasha (2014) 'Book review: You Should Have Come Here When You Were Not Here, by Brannavan Gnanalingam' 30 January. 9. ^Oliver, Angela (2014) 'Book Review, Ad Lib by Thomasin Sleigh' http://booksellersnz.wordpress.com/2014/03/24/book-review-ad-lib-by-thomasin-sleigh/ 10. ^ Ross, J.
