7 September 12:15-1:15pm at Te Papa Marae, Level 4, Te Papa.

It is our great pleasure to announce the Wellington visit of eminent Australian novelist Michelle de Kretser, author of four acclaimed novels including The Lost Dog and most recently Questions of Travel, winner of the Miles Franklin Award and the Prime Minister’s Literary Award for fiction. This mesmerising literary novel enthrals and enchants the reader as it shines a searching gaze on national identity, restlessness, dispossession and home. Come and hear more from de Kretser’s questing imagination. Chaired by Emily Perkins.

Writers on Mondays is presented with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, National Poetry Day and Circa Theatre.

These events are open to the public and free of charge.
