Novels for our overly interesting age. Mia Farlane and Bryan Walpert in conversation.

Author talk: Mia Farlane (And How Are Things With You) and Bryan Walpert (Empathy)
Chaired by Mākaro Press publisher Mary McCallum
Only one Mākaro Press novel is published a year and the last two have been described as 'a novel for our times' and 'the perfect companion for an overly interesting age'. Both are stories of family secrets, grief and obsession, set against a global breakdown in human connection in favour of the digital. Pōneke writer Mia Farlane uses politics and black humour and Devonport's Bryan Walpert uses the plotting of a thriller to funnel existential dread into two smart and compelling novels. Come and hear them discuss their stories, their craft, and the role of fiction in these times, with Mākaro Publisher Mary McCallum.
Refreshments provided and books for sale at the event.
