Inimitable law professor Bernard Brown gives his views on law reform, literature and politics in sharply observant poems & short stories from seven decades of a remarkable life .
Bernard Brown, who says he still 'professes law at the University of Auckland', has been unofficially voted New Zealand lawyers' most antic lecturer. He has been close to the pulses of law reform, literature and politics in New Zealand since 1962.
He is (sensibly) far from claiming that Sensible Sinning is the result, but he has taught law to many upper echelon judges and QCs, and politicians ranging from David Lange to Winston Peters, Richard Prebble to Doug Graham.
Sensible Sinning is a semi-autobiographical account in sardonic sketches, sharp poetical commentary and pertinent short stories, the latter clearly labeled fiction (to avoid legal action). They span seven decades of a remarkable life in England, Malaya , Singapore , New Guinea and, since 1962, New Zealand .
Radio New Zealand National is broadcasting, in 11 episodes, material from Bernard Brown's Sensible Sinning. The episodes have been adapted and are being read by Owen Scott. These can be listened to online now by clicking here . Radio broadcast dates will be placed here when they become available.
