Leipzig Reads... in Wellington!




6pm,  24 April at Meow Bar (9 Edward Street, Wellington)

Join Elizabeth Knox, Jenny Pattrick, Damien Wilkins and Fergus Barrowman as they share their experiences of one of Europe’s premier literary events, the Leipzig Book Fair and Festival.

Four Wellingtonians have been part of New Zealand’s advance party into Europe as the literary world gears up for this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair devoted to New Zealand books. You can hear more about them, their experiences and how they think New Zealand’s literature will be received at the world’s biggest literary event in October. Anne Chamberlain (Director, Writers & Readers Week) will chair.

This event is part of the Temporary Literaturhaus, a project of the Goethe-Institut New Zealand, the New Zealand Book Council and the New Zealand Centre for Literary Translation, with support from Creative New Zealand.
