Literary power couple Anna Smaill (Bird Life) and Carl Shuker (The Royal Free) talked with novelist Emily Perkins at Te Papa on 2 September 2024. They discussed their work, their life together, and how to survive both artistic setbacks and triumphs. Anna’s first novel, The Chimes, won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel, while Carl’s previous novel, A Mistake, became a feature film in 2024. This event was part of Writers on Mondays, a series made possible through the generous support of the Letteri Family.
