Eleanor Catton and Téa Obreht

This event celebrates two of the most acclaimed young voices writing today. Eleanor Catton’s second novel The Luminaries has won the 2013 Man Booker prize and she is the youngest ever winner of this prestigious prize. The Luminaries is a murder mystery in the Victorian tradition and is a novel full of narrative, linguistic and psychological pleasures. Téa Obreht won the Orange Prize in 2011 for her bewitching debut The Tiger’s Wife. Chaired by Mary Corcoran This podcast was recorded in the Pavilion Theatre on Wednesday September 4th 2013
