I would like to acknowledge them, and the rest of the English Department at Victoria University, for their positivity about and understanding of working alongside an MA student with a baby. I would like to thank Suze Randal for her expert support on matters of data processing and proof-reading. I am immensely thankful to Steve Langley for his ongoing help and encouragement. I am also very grateful to all those scholars whose work has helped shape my thesis, and to the people who allowed me to interview and quote them in my paper: Anna Hart at Nielsen, Len Vlahos at BISG, Lisa Davis at Hachette, and Booksellers NZ. My special thanks, too, go to the high-school staff and students who helped me with the in-school study – their generosity and insights allowed me to produce a truly original contribution to the YA discussion.

    THE U'HAUL ADVENTURES COLLECTED COLUMNS 1996 TUESDAY MOR N I NG BY MIKE FALOON W riter Mike Faloon Presents The Choose an Intro S weepstakes ! Greetings, reader. I’ll be damned if I can decide which introduction to use for the The U- Haul Adventures, so I’ll leave the choice to you.

For years the writer and his book have been together—friends or bitter enemies but very close as only love and fighting can accomplish. ” —John Steinbeck, Journal o f a Novel #2 - For those who dig the dry details: The U-Haul Adventures could be accurately subtitled “Columns I Wrote for Other Zines That My Friends Never Got to Read, Along with New Stuff I Wrote for Tour.” Last summer I went through the box in which I keep copies of zines I’ve written for. Flipping through the stack I realized that most of my friends never had a chance to read the columns, and never would given that all but one of the zines is now extinct. (Josh Rutledge’s fab Now Wave being the noteworthy exception.) And that’s not right because I often write with my friends in mind.
