THE UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND FREE LECTURE

Twenty-two years ago the Auckland Writers Festival burst into literary life, propelled by the ambitious advocacy of writers Stephanie Johnson and the late Peter Wells who wanted to showcase our talent to our people. Johnson takes stock of how the New Zealand literary landscape has changed across the era. Have we grown up, grown out, grown at all? Or are we still trying to find our place? Expect a spirited assessment of the state of play and some provocative suggestions for the future.
