New author photos! With enormous thanks to Trinity Thompson-Browne. Trin says, "I came away feeling inspired and hopeful after talking with you about all things queer love, art, writing, the process and the work we sur/render ourselves to." I felt EXACTLY the same. Kia ora, e hoa! 📷😁 #MincemeatNovel

Front cover for a novel. It has a purple background and features a painting of a Labrador in mixed natural colours, who is facing the reader and wearing a folded paper hat with green and pink checks. Block text against an ice blue background across the top of the cover gives the author and title: ANTHONY LAPWOOD MINCEMEAT A quote beneath the title says: "A wonderfully unsettling novel" - Catherine Chidgey "A wonderfully unsettling novel, shot through with emotional sleight of hand. In prose that feels drawn from a fever dream, Lapwood asks whether the truth about our families and ourselves is something we uncover or something we create. Elegant, haunting and unexpectedly funny.” — Catherine Chidgey “A missing persons mystery that morphs into an Antonioni-esque existential thriller – Mincemeat is a constantly surprising and taut piece of work.” — Brannavan Gnanalingam
