Weaving comedy and truth through her new collection of short stories, award-winning writer and journalist Michelle Duff's new novel Surplus Women explores power and patriarchy through women set in past, present and future Aotearoa.
Hungry teenage girls, top detectives who forget to buy milk, frustrated archivists and duplicitous real estate agents, form a cast of 'surplus women'.
Michelle won the 2023 Fiction Prize from the International Institute of Modern Letters, and is known for her feature writing for Stuff, New Zealand Geographic, The Guardian and The Sunday Times.
