From lighthouse keepers to taxi drivers: publishing lesser read voices with Adrienne Jansen
12 Nov 2023
There are many books about lighthouse keepers. And many iconic images of lighthouses on our coastline. Yet the lighthouse keeper was pretty much made extinct in the 1970s in New Zealand when lighthouses became automated. In Adrienne Jansen’s sixth novel, Light Keeping, the work and home of the lighthouse keeper is brought back to life. Giving voice to others, through writing and publishing opportunities has been something Jansen has devoted most of her career to. Principally to those we hear from the less: from recent immigrants, to cleaners and taxi drivers.
