Three writers from the south have published stunning and diverse novels in the last year: Laurence Fearnley (The Hut Builder), Emma Neale (Fosterling), and Charlotte Randall (Hokitika Town).
All three novels bring to life a fascinating gallery of “outsiders”: respectively, Boden, a shy young butcher from a small 1940s Central Otago town who becomes one of New Zealand’s most famous poets; a young man, found unconscious in remote forest, who is 7ft tall and covered in hair resembling an animal pelt, his identity a mystery; young Halfie – who by contrast has many names applied to him by others - a “coin boy” in 1865 Hokitika during the Gold Rush, and an acute observer of the adults around him.
Chair: Carole Beu.
