The Going West Books and Writers Festival announces the 17th annual line-up of some of New Zealand’s finest poets, novelists, biographers, historians and thinkers. Expect serious discourse, tantalising readings and insights into the life and art of our much-loved authors, leavened with the absurd and the entertaining. Always Almost: Never Quite succinctly sums up the Going West weekend; wide-ranging, quirky, unexpected, intimate, challenging.
Books and writers weekend, 14-16 September 2012. Tickets on sale 27 July www.eventfinder.co.nz
