Michelle Duff’s Surplus Women explores power and patriarchy. Airana Ngarewa’s Pātea Boys delivers stories grounded in masculinity, place, and what it takes to survive. Together, they explore short story writing as a form built for impact and discuss why they’re drawn to writing about people and places often left out of the national narrative. Chaired by Sunday Star-Times Short Story Award winner Fiona Sussman.
