READER EVENT: A Q & A with Lloyd Jones
The New Zealand Listener, Penguin Books and
the New Zealand Book Council invite you to attend a Q & A with Lloyd Jones.
Join Listener Books & Culture editor Guy
Somerset for a conversation with acclaimed New Zealand author about his new
book, A History of Silence: A Memoir.
Superbly written, A
History of Silence is an extraordinary work from one of New Zealand’s master
storytellers. It uncovers Jones’s past … revealing stories he never expected to
find. The 2011 earthquake that shook Christchurch to its core led Jones to
investigate his own foundations and family history. And so begins a quest to
revisit what has been buried by a legacy of silence.
Lloyd Jones is one of New
Zealand’s best known contemporary writers. His works include Biografi, a New York Times Notable Book, and the novels The Book of Fame – winner of numerous literary awards – Choo Woo, Here at the End of the World We Learn to Dance, Paint Your Wife, Hand Me Down World and the phenomenally successful Mister Pip, winner of the 2007
Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, the Montana Medal for Fiction and the Kiriyama
Writers’ Prize, shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and adapted into a film,
which goes on general release on October 3.
