In 1976, journalist Gordon McLauchlan wrote his most famous work, The Passionless People - a best-selling social commentary on New Zealand, where he probed the murky recesses of our national psyche. In The Passionless People Revisited, he looks back at how New Zealanders have changed, or otherwise, over the last four decades, in a book that promises to be as thought-provoking and controversial as the original.
