BERNARD BECKETT is one of our more provocative and inventive writers. He has won many awards for his fiction and his latest novel, Genesis, has been highly acclaimed both in New Zealand and on the international stage.
In 2005 he was awarded a fellowship at the Allan Wilson Centre for Molecular Evolution where he found himself looking for ways to combine his passions for science, philosophy and storytelling. Acid Song is one of three writing projects he started during that time.
Bernard lives in Wellington and teaches at a secondary school in the Hutt Valley.
