 | Literary Weekend - China Downunder - Chinese New Zealand Writing | | | Event Type: Theatre, Festivals/Parades | | | |
 | 20 Sep 2008 | | | 10:15 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. | | | | | As recently as 2003 historian James Ng wrote, “The representations of Chinese New Zealanders in New Zealand literature will be peripheral, until Chinese New Zealanders tell their own stories.”
Now a growing body of work is illuminating the experience of these New Zealanders and ushering them in from the periphery. Poet and novelist Alison Wong, playwright and poet Renee Liang and novelist Mo Zhi Hong talk with journalist Gilbert Wong about the state of the craft here, and how much culture, obligation and expectation affects their writing.
