Film directors get to re-release with the changes they
wish they had made. That is called The Director's Cut. Now, Greg McGee has done
the same to his 2012 novel. Welcome to Love
& Money: The Writer's Cut. New Zealand is in the middle of a share-market boom,
there is an election coming up, a commune with bizarre sexual activities is
causing questions, and the first Rugby World Cup is on the horizon. But for a
failing actor with a chaotic personal life and friends and family who seem to
be succeeding where he isn't, there are no silver linings. But this is 1987.
Everybody's world is about to fall apart.
