Catherine Chidgey: Conscious Tissue

Take your medicine, record your dreams, report your sins in The Book of Guilt. The triplet boys at the centre of celebrated Kiwi writer Catherine Chidgey’s ninth novel live a sheltered, closely monitored life. But questions about them, and their future, abound. The twice Women’s Prize-longlisted author of Pet talks with us about her thrillingly unnerving dystopian vision, her magpie mind, and living in a world where some lives are valued less than others. Chaired by Di Speirs.
