Wellington Writers on Mondays:
3 August: This Place You Return To - Kirsty Gunn

Kirsty Gunn’s 1994 novella Rain catapulted her to literary prominence, and in 2007 The Boy and the Sea won Sundial Scottish Arts Council Book of the Year Award.
Although she has lived and worked for many years in the UK as a writer, reviewer and writing teacher, Kirsty Gunn’s work continues to be informed by her New Zealand past.

She’s back in Wellington as Creative New Zealand Writer in Residence at the Randell Cottage, and appears in conversation with Bill Manhire.

The Writers on Mondays series is presented by the International Institute of Modern Letters and The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. It is open to the public and free of charge.

Where: The Marae, Level 4, Te Papa, Cable Street (please note that no food may be taken onto The Marae).

Time: 12.15 – 1.15pm
