From Wellington to the World: Kate Duignan and Rajorshi Chakraborti

Kate Duignan’s new novel The New Ships is set in Wellington after the fall of the Twin Towers, and traverses London, Europe and the Indian subcontinent. In Rajorshi Chakraborti’s fifth novel The Man Who Would Not See a man travels from small-town India to Wellington with the apparent objective of blowing up every part of his younger brother’s life.
