As soon as the ink is dry, an essay collection becomes a time capsule. As their first books are published, Flora Feltham (Bad Archive) and Cher Tan (Australia; Peripathetic) weigh the emotional dilemma of writing from the inside of their own lives as the world paces on. What does it mean to commit something to print under these conditions? Alongside Leah Jing McIntosh (Australia), founding editor of Liminal magazine, the authors consider what happens when they move on, but their words remain fixed.
The ‘Ticket + book’ bundles are available until 12:00pm on Thursday 7 November. Unity will be at events across the festival for book sales and signings.
A discounted ‘Ticket + book’ bundle is available for a copy of Bad Archive by Flora Feltham, or, Peripathetic: Notes on (un)belonging by Cher Tan. If purchased, your book can be collected from Unity Books, 57 Willis Street, Wellington in advance of the festival, or at the event from Unity's book table.
Tickets from $19
