In 2013, our very own Eleanor Catton became the youngest-ever winner of the Booker Prize at 28-years-old with The Luminaires. 

In the decade since, she adapted the book for television, wrote the feature film screenplay for Jane Austen’s Emma, moved to the UK and had a child. 

And now, a decade on, she’s back with her new book Birnam Wood. 

Eleanor’s currently in New Zealand for the Auckland Writer’s Festival and she joined Jack Tame.
