The Scottish Manhattan-based actor Alan Cumming is a busy man. He has built a fine career with roles ranging from Taggart and The Good Wife on TV, to the X-Men films, and Cabaret and Macbeth on the stage. He has had a photo exhibition named “Alan Cumming Snaps!” and developed an award-winning fragrance named “Cumming”; and has been a tireless champion for LGBT civil rights and HIV. Most recently he’s turned his attention to family history: in his lauded memoir Not My Father’s Son he recounts the story of his appearance on the BBC series Who Do You Think You Are? and his subsequent examination of family secrets and damaged men. Cumming is in conversation with Michael Hurst. Supported by Friedlander Foundation. http://writersfestival.co.nz/assets/uploads/2015/07/ASB-D3-S7-An-Evening-With-Alan-Cumming-POD-MP3.mp3…
Famed Chinese writer Xinran, author of The Good Women of China, introduces her latest book Buy Me The Sky , an investigation of the impact of China’s one-child policy on those born after 1970. With journalistic nous and novelistic flair, she scrutinises how generations of “one and onlies”, burdened with expectation but reared with scant sense of responsibility, embody the hopes and fears of a nation in flux. In conversation with Stephanie Johnson. Supported by Penguin Random House and Asia New Zealand Foundation.

Daniel Mendelsohn and Anna Jackson share an enthusiam for the classics and for translation. He’s an acclaimed US memoirist, critic and translator of the Greek poet CP Cavafy; she’s a New Zealand poet whose latest collection I Clodia and Other Portraits is indebted to the scandalous Roman aristocrat Clodia, the beautiful addressee of searing and racy poetry by the poet Catullus. Join them in a conversation about old and not so old poets, and the challenges of translation, with Tom Bishop. http://writersfestival.co.nz/assets/uploads/2015/07/NZI-L-D3-S5-Translation-Gymnastics-POD-MP3.mp3…
Graeme Lay and Thom Conroy have written about two figures in New Zealand’s colonial past: Captain James Cook, the inspiration for Lay’s recently completed fictional trilogy; and Ernst Dieffenbach, the free-spirited German appointed as surgeon and naturalist on the New Zealand Company’s ship “Tory”, who is at the heart of Conroy’s novel The Naturalist. The two writers discuss their leading men and the process of mutating fact into fiction with Catriona Ferguson. http://writersfestival.co.nz/assets/uploads/2015/07/NZI-L-D3-S2-Leading-Men-POD-MP3.mp3…
For some of us the Switzerland of the South Seas is not much more than a fleeting stopover for shopping, maybe even a cocktail at Raffles. But, for Edwin Thumboo, Singapore has been home for more than eighty years, and the place where he has forged a career as a writer, academic and the country’s unofficial poet laureate. Join him in conversation with Paula Green as he shares insights into this still largely undiscovered nation.

Poet and violinist Anna Smaill’s acclaimed debut novel The Chimes constructs a world ruled by a large musical instrument, and navigated via a musical language. It’s also a place where people are incapable of retaining memories. Bernard Beckett’s Lullaby envisages a world where memories, like body organs, can be transplanted. Futuristic, philosophical and written in inventive prose, both novels invite readers to consider life’s essentials. Smaill and Beckett join Paula Morris for a discussion of fiction and memory. http://writersfestival.co.nz/assets/uploads/2015/07/NZI-U-D4-S7-Memory-Loss-POD-MP3.mp3…

Critics occupy an uncomfortable position, often finding themselves in the firing line from all sides: too harsh, too fawning, not constructive enough. But just what is the job of a critic? What value do they add? And what makes a good or a bad critic? International Shakespeare critic Peter Holland and New Zealand art critic Wystan Curnow front up for a discussion with Rosabel Tan, editor of the NZ online magazine The Pantograph Punch, about the place of the critic in the cultural conversation. http://writersfestival.co.nz/assets/uploads/2015/07/NZI-L-D3-S4-The-Role-of-the-Critic-POD-MP3.mp3…
One of the world’s leading investigative journalists, Nick Davies broke the phone hacking story in the UK, worked with Wikileaks’ Julian Assange to publish classified material in the Guardian and has recently authored the bestselling Hack Attack .

C.K. Stead is one of New Zealand’s foremost literary figures.

An irreverent and stinging session should be forthcoming as Steve Braunias, author of Mad Men , and David Slack, Metro contributor, gather with writer and editor Stephen Stratford to discuss satirical writing. http://writersfestival.co.nz/assets/uploads/2015/07/NZI-L-D4-S4-Satirists-at-Large-POD-MP3.mp3…
English comedian and classicist Natalie Haynes would rather we not see “Ancient Rome as a toga party to which our invitation went astray.” An Ancient Guide to the Modern Life is her manifesto for the relevance of classics to the 21st century. In a similar vein her novel, The Amber Fury , brings teenage and Greek angst together in an Edinburgh classroom. Haynes takes to the stage to give us old tips for modern living. Let’s not forget that it was Cicero who said “one nail drives out another”. In conversation with Iain Sharp.
