 First published in 2005, "On the Conditions and Possibilities of Helen Clark Taking Me as Her Young Lover", received favourable reviews in New Zealand and international press.The book, often shortened to OTC&POHCTMAHYL, asked why Helen Clark, the Prime Minister at the time would want a young lover and then why the young lover would be Meros.The book is a work of metafiction as it concludes that the greatest likelihood of Meros being taken as a young lover would be if he wrote a book on the conditions and possibilities of being taken as a young lover.
