Lloyd Jones, the award-winning New Zealand author of Mister Pip, discusses his newest book. The Cage is a profound and unsettling fable-like tale of two strangers who arrive in a small country town. The townspeople want answers, but the strangers are unable to speak of their trauma. And before long, wary hospitality shifts to suspicion and fear, and the care of the men slides into appalling cruelty.

Jones will be joined in conversation by Text author Jock Serong.
