Quay Words presents: Michael Malay - Late Light
Advertisement
We’re really pleased to welcome Michael to Exeter to talk to us about Late Light – winner of the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2024. Late Light combines natural history with memoir in the story of Michael’s journey as an Indonesian Australian making a new home for himself in England.
Late Light is about migration, belonging and extinction. Through the close examination of four particular ‘unloved’ animals – eels, moths, crickets and mussels – Michael Malay tells the story of the economic, political and cultural events that have shaped the modern landscape of Britain.
(This event will also be streamed live on YouTube. Click through to the Quay Words site and book a ‘pay what you can’ ticket for this option.)
