Hear from one of our most significant contemporary voices. Kataraina is Becky Manawatu’s (Ngāi Tahu) highly-anticipated follow-up to her Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction winning bestseller Auē. An evocative novel written with attentive delicacy and steeped in the natural world, Manawatu’s writing is as intensely beautiful as it is diamond hard as she revisits unforgettable characters from Auē. She joins Nic Low (Ngāi Tahu) in conversation.
