Hawaiʻi Bibliovision

The February 2007 show features one of the most critically-acclaimed Pacific novelists, Patricia Grace.

For nearly four decades, Patricia Grace has been a key figure in literature, both in her native Aotearoa New Zealand, and in the wider Pacific. Her work tells important and poignant stories of contemporary indigeneity. From her first novel, Mutuwhenua, through Potiki, Cousins, Baby No-eyes and, most recently, Tu, Patricia Grace has carved a voice of stark beauty which is idiosyncratic, yet representative of Pacific values, identities and narratives.

Hawaiʻi Bibliovision in February features a stimulating and thought-provoking discussion between Patricia Grace and other writers and scholars knowledgeable about her work.

Join us again in March 2007 for a different, even more intimate and enriching conversation between Patricia Grace and other notable Pacific writers, who help make Pacific literature one of the most exciting, emerging literatures today.
