- Interested parties can order it directly from Lawrence and Gibson’s website. (I’ll let you know when it becomes available through other venues.)
For those of you in the US, there are three different options when purchasing it:
- You can buy the book for $38 NZD (that’s the total cost; ~$31 USD) and have it shipped right away;
- You can buy the book for $33 NZD (again, total; ~$27 USD) and wait to have it shipped anywhere in the US after 4 July;
- Chicago-only: You can buy the book for$28 NZD (again, total; ~$23 USD) and receive it from me personally sometime after 4 July. I will also kiss you, if you’d like!
Be aware that “sometime after 4 July” means “something like 2–4 weeks after that,” since in those cases my publisher will be shipping the books in bulk to me. Note also that options 2 and 3 are guaranteed only through 4 July, although option 1 will still be available after that. If that doesn’t make any sense, you might find the L&G site more coherent. Or, just email me and I will attempt to clarify (I like to think I understand it…).
[Update: The time for this deal has passed! But there may be later deals…]
Of Giant Slugs, others have said:
Told in a style unlike any other—a dazzling prose-poetry-comedy like some jackdaw Professor of Everything colliding fragments of ancient myth, world culture and modern ephemera into a multi-coloured verbal collage—Giant Slugs is startlingly, refreshingly original and more than a mere novelty.
—Michael Kelly, author of Ulrich Haarbürste’s Novel of Roy Orbison in Cling Film
&
“I admire A D Jameson to the point of being disturbed by him.”
—Gabriel Gudding, author of Rhode Island Notebook and A Defense of Poetry
A few excerpts have meanwhile appeared in journals:
- Action, Yes: “The Walls of Uruk” (from Chapter 1, “The Walls of Uruk”);
- elimae: “Death Summit” (from Chapter 10, “Black Hunger”);
- The Collagist: “Dar Williams” (from Chapter 11, “A Drink at the Twilight Ale House”).

Hi,
Just wanted to know if you are a New Zealander or a New Zealand writer living in the US? We want to catalogue your novel, Giant Sligs, as a NZ fiction and need some information to confirm it. Please help!
Thanks

Hi Yuan,
I am an American (US) writer living in the US. Giant Slugs was published by Lawrence and Gibson, an NZ press, in 2011. Not sure if that makes me eligible for your progress or not.
Thank you for your interest!
Adam
