ABOUT
In the sequel to his first published collection of correspondence, Sir Robert Jones once again shows that he is a man of letters.
'80S Letters gathers Bob Jones’s sharp, provocative, and often mischievous letters from a decade when he relished needling public figures and puncturing political pretension.
The letters showcase his trademark blend of wit, impatience, and contrarian flair, aimed at politicians, bureaucrats, media personalities, and anyone he felt deserved a jab. Across these pieces, Jones captures the tone of 1980s New Zealand—its reforms, its cultural shifts, and its public squabbles—while using humour as both commentary and weapon.
Includes monochrome images and illustrations.
