Passport to Hell by Robin Hyde

Reissued in 2015 after more than seven decades, Passport to Hell is a visceral portrait of a true New Zealand anti-hero.

James Stark ('Starkie') was in Mt Eden gaol when he first met Robin Hyde. The "queer, true, terrible story" of his life and experiences in World War I inspired a book about a man honoured for his courage. He was also a veteran of nine courts martial. Starkie was, like Hyde's book, unique.

Passport to Hell was adapted for radio by Pat Sandbrook with Mary Paul and produced by Prue Langbein
