Writing Survivors

Tash Aw (We, the Survivors) and Tommy Orange (There, There) are authors of widely acclaimed novels that describe the effects of intergenerational inequality upon the lives of individuals and upon whole communities and histories of people.

Tash and Tommy speak with Aotearoa writer Paula Morris about the role of fiction in evoking empathy and on the challenge of creating characters who speak truths for so many living today, in our past and in our futures.
