Hearing the winner
Four thousand visuallyimpaired people throughout New Zealand will be able to hear the winner of the Goodman, Fielder, Wattie Book Awards not long after the awards were announced. Two actors, George Henare and Michael Morrissey, have been reading Claudia Orange’s “Treaty
of Waitangi” in two threehour sessions for the last five weeks in the Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind’s talking library studio in Auckland. The library service decided to tape six of the 10 award finalists long before the winners were announced in June.
