More information about the Gala Opening:

New Zealand Post Writers and Readers Week begins with the fine art of fiction.

Join five of contemporary literature's most intriguing voices as they talk about craft, character, and style. Writing across a number of genres, these novelists exemplify the many possibilities in 21st century fiction. From Gil Adamson's ‘literary western' Outlander to Chloe Hooper's A Child's Book of True Crime, from Neil Cross's psychological thriller Burial to Kamila Shamsie's political saga Burnt Shadows, and Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife, these are writers who always push the boundaries of literary fiction. Writing from four different continents and cultures each is working in relationship to a shared tradition, one that includes the genre novel, the epic narrative, the western, and the unreliable narrator. Join Kate De Goldi for a wide-ranging conversation about the broad church that is today's novel.
