Winner of the prestigious Acorn Prize for Fiction at the 2025 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards, Damien Wilkins’s profoundly moving novel, Delirious, explores untimely loss, ageing, and surprise second chances. As well as being one of our most acclaimed novelists and Director of the IIML, Wilkins is a not-to-be-missed speaker. He appears in conversation with writer Emily Perkins to discuss the art of fiction, a career that spans 14 books, and where singing and songwriting fit into it all.
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.
