Hi
there,
Featuring
over 100 of the smartest, most eloquent and entertaining people from home
and abroad in more than 50 events, the 2016 New Zealand Festival Writers Week is
the ultimate conversation starter – and it begins this evening.
Multi-talented
author, filmmaker and artist Miranda July,
short-story and non-fiction writer Etgar Keret, The Toast's and Slate's Mallory Ortberg
(named one of the "new guard" of media-makers unders 30 by Forbes magazine)
and novelist and journalist Andrew O'Hagan
are among the leading writers and thinkers in Wellington and region until
Sunday 13 March.
As
the Fiji cyclone highlighted, discussing our response to natural disasters
has never been more vital, and that is what Winchester, author of Pacific: The Ocean of the the
Future, will be doing with fellow panellists in Weathering Catastrophe.
Writers
Week begins at 6pm this evening when bestselling British neurosurgeon Henry Marsh is
in conversation with RNZ National's Kim Hill.
Be
sure to join the conversation.
