A Cry Comes from the Dawn Pavilion

A Celebration of the Opening of the Frankfurt Book Fair

While Frankfurt sleeps and the New Zealand Pavilion lies empty, waiting to be filled within hours by the crowds, we create another pavilion at the opposite end of the world to celebrate New Zealand as Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
Ours is a smaller pavilion in a borrowed lounge bar in an alley in Wellington. In this dawn pavilion—slightly off the beaten track, slightly harder to find—you can enjoy an evening of writers and translators who may also come as a pleasant surprise in the New Zealand literary cityscape. It’s not who you’d automatically expect.

Join us for literary encounters, conversation and translation, chaired and curated by Pip Adam.

Tuesday 9 October 2012, from 6.30pm. Free entry.
Meow, 9 Edward Street, Wellington
