About the event
Join us, Bryan Walpert, Lloyd Jones & Mākaro press (publishers of Auē) to celebrate the launch Empathy.
Bryan’s previous novel, Entanglement, was a brilliant time-travelling love story.“His latest treads different ground but works in a similar style: erudite prose untangling deeply intelligent ideas, with the bonus of carefully drawn characters” - Josie Shapiro
