Rebecca Priestley's new memoir End Times moves between recollections of teen punk nihilism and a flirtation with born again Christianity, to a modern day climate anxiety-fuelled South Island road trip. Her playlist from the trip is here.
Priestley is professor of Science in Society at Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington. She is the author or editor of six previous books, including Fifteen Million Years in Antarctica.
Rebecca will be appearing at The Nelson Arts Festival on Oct 21.
