Review This book paints a picture of the Auckland I grew up in — when waiting for the 025 to town was a gamble, and the answer to the question where are you from? was an essay, not a sentence. Like everything she makes, Coco Solid imbues this book with fierce intelligence, laser-sharp specificity and cosmic warmth. — Rose MatafeoSharp, funny and dope as hell, How to Loiter in a Turf War is another Coco Solid work of genius. With her piercing prose and expansive worlds, Coco has long been a life-raft for brown kids swimming against the whirlpools of urban realities, and this work is no different. Painfully perceptive, familiar and hopeful. — Lana LopesiThis is one of the most exciting books Ive ever read. A celebration and a challenge and an impressive work of art and intelligence. — Pip Adam Promotional "Headline" A genre-bending work of autobiographical fiction from one of Aotearoas fiercest and most versatile artists.
