Boiling Point: Characters on the brink

  • The Ferret Bookshop 175 Cuba Street Wellington, 6011 New Zealand (map)
 

In their debut novels, romesh dissanayake (When I open the shop) and Louise Wallace (ASH) bring their characters to a simmer before turning up the heat. Join the authors as they discuss how they fine-tuned their books’ emotional landscapes, engineering escalating tension and flooding releases of pressure. Chaired by Hasib Hourani (Australia), this talk will dive beneath the narrative surface of the two books, uncovering how the authors’ inventive approaches immerse readers in their characters’ grief, despair, love and rage.
