SUMMARY:Interview: Eleanor Catton in Conversation with Bill Richardson
DESCRIPTION:Eleanor Catton makes a highly anticipated return to the Vancouver Writers Fest with her first novel since The Luminaries was published a decade ago; the mysterious\, intricately structured tale sold 1.5 million copies worldwide\, and made her the youngest ever winner of the Booker Prize. Now\, Catton plunges readers into the world of a gripping new page-turner. Probe the urgent political issues of our times at this Vancouver Writers Fest Special Event\, featuring a literary thriller that Stephen King has called “as good as it gets.” \nBirnam Wood is a fast-paced\, character-driven\, psychologically penetrating work of climate fiction that explores the tense encounter between Birnam Wood—an internally conflicted guerrilla gardening collective\, whose members plant crops on land they don’t own—and an American billionaire who intends to use his newly purchased plot of New Zealand farmland to build an apocalypse bunker. With a title inspired by Macbeth\, Birnam Wood aims Shakespearean wit and drama at our various contemporary crises. \nCome and discover the book that the Globe and Mail\, The Guardian\, Maclean’s\, Vogue\, Kirkus Reviews and more have named one of the most anticipated of 2023. Catton joins award-winning author and esteemed moderator Bill Richardson on Saturday\, March 11 for an incisive conversation about greed\, power\, and reckoning with our global existential threat. \nBooks will be for sale at the event courtesy of Upstart & Crow.
