Birds, Fables, Carnivals: Catherine Chidgey

After the internationally lauded Remote Sympathy, Catherine Chidgey’s latest novel The Axeman’s Carnival is a tour-de-force with a talking magpie at the centre of the telling. Join Maggie Tweedie as she talks to Catherine about how we write about the relationship between humans and the natural world, the double-edged magic of fame, and the freedom of fables. 

This event is part of a celebration of books, stories, ideas & gathering for Verb Readers & Writers Festival 2022.
