Two writers exploring women’s lives across different landscapes and generations come together in this special event. Award-winning journalist Michelle Duff’s sharp, eclectic short story collection Surplus Women moves nimbly between realism and comic overdrive, meditating on power, patriarchy, and bad decisions. Saraid de Silva’s powerful debut novel, Amma, longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, follows three women on different paths against shifting cultural backdrops in Singapore, New Zealand, and London. See these writers in conversation with Tina Makereti as they discuss the stories that define us.
Writers on Mondays is presented with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Circa Theatre, and Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day, and is supported by the Letteri Family.
