BOOK LAUNCH - DYNAMITE by Megan Clayton

Please join us for the launch of the winner of the 2026 John O'Conner Award - Dynamite by Megan Clayton.
Raised in Ōtautahi where her own family now lives, Megan writes a city shaped by geology, loss and human struggle, making sense of family, feeling and memory. In Dynamite, the city’s outer suburbs and their histories find their place. Wetlands return to the coast; an unchaperoned couple explores the city by bicycle; meetings are interrupted by a horse offering rescue. Warm, wry and generous, Dynamite supports, challenges and surprises.
Featuring readings from Erik Kennedy, Jeni Curtis and Lee Fraser.
