IIML Writers on Mondays: Kate Camp, Noelle McCarthy in convo with Kate Duignan
About the event
A series of events highlighting the very latest work from Aotearoa New Zealand writers. A lively and stimulating way to begin the week—and it’s free!
Who's That Girl?: Kate Camp and Noelle McCarthy
For one year in 1986, Kate Camp kept a daily diary. In her new book, Leather & Chains, she writes back to that 13-year-old self. Encountering the pages from the distance of 40 years, Kate finds iconic '80s touchstones, swaggering bravado, vulnerability, and the linguistic fireworks of the proto-writer. Noelle McCarthy's new book, Stakes, brings her Irish Catholic girlhood obsession with Dracula into collision with the world of the 2020s, #MeToo, and the horrors emerging from Irish soil. These two memoirists join Kate Duignan for a conversation about hungry girls, and the ones who get invited through the door.
