The decision has sparked a strong reaction from Dunedin's literary community, with writers, readers and former staff reflecting on what the shop has meant to the city. Award-winning novelist, former academic and Chair of the Otago Southland branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors, Wendy Parkins joins us now to reflect on the shop's legacy.
