Résumé

In his sixtieth year, Tim follows up his bestselling book of 37 years earlier, Bullshit & Jellybeans, with this extraordinary take on his life as a 'mayor of two cities'. Every New Zealander knows Tim Shadbolt. We know him for his wide-mouthed smile, inimitable oratory, constant proximity to controversy, and standing up for the average Kiwi. But A Mayor of Two Cities reveals plenty we don't know: scandals, achievements and adventures.
Written in Tim's unique style and showing his true brilliance for storytelling, this thorough autobiography takes us from Tim's childhood days in West Auckland to his 2007 battle with the government over fees. He takes us through his protesting student adventures, his commune life, his political radical days, and the era in which he was the controversial mayor of Waitemata City. But that's not all.

Tim Shadbolt is a national icon (not to mention a local hero in Invercargill). He is known for his wide-mouthed smile, wicked sense of humour, standing up for causes and supporting the average kiwi. Tim is New Zealand's longest serving mayor and is now enjoying his sixth term as Mayor of Invercargill. In the past Tim has written numerous books on subjects ranging from concrete to film-making, as well as his "early" biography Bullshit and Jellybeans (published in 1971).
