Alan Duff declared bankrupt

Prominent New Zealand author Alan Duff has declared himself bankrupt.
The author of Once Were Warriors declared himself bankrupt on June 16 in France, ending a three-year wait by creditors owed $3.6 million, The Dominion Post reported today.

Duff was almost declared bankrupt in 2008 and moved to France to try and write his way out of debt.
