Marlborough Book Festival - Pip Adam

We Have to Talk About The New Animals - Pip Adam in conversation with Jane Forrest Waghorn.

The New Animals parodies the Auckland fashion scene; part gritty social realism, part science fiction.

The Acorn Foundation Fiction Prize judges described it as a confrontational, revelatory novel that holds a mirror up to contemporary New Zealand culture.

One reviewer implored us: “What the **** are we doing in this country when we are not reviewing and talking about this book?” We hear you! Let’s talk.

Pip is a novelist, short story writer and reviewer, and The New Animals won the 2018 Acorn Foundation Fiction Prize.

Pip teaches creative writing and is the voice behind the Better off Read podcast.
