Is The Axeman’s Carnival the great Kiwi Gothic classic?
Narrated by a mimicking magpie, Catherine Chidgey’s book is not only funny and magical, it’s also a bird’s-eye view into the very real struggle of farming life.
A nuanced portrayal of love and domestic violence, it is a 2023 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards finalist. Chidgey will discuss her writing life with Rachael King.
