HOW WE LOVE: CLEMENTINE FORD (2022)

HOW WE LOVE: CLEMENTINE FORD (2022)

Author: Auckland Writers Festival October 3, 2022 Duration: 1:15:58
Clementine Ford is one of Australia’s most fearless feminists, and possibly one of its most provocative. The author of the best-selling 'Fight Like A Girl' and 'Boys Will Be Boys' has been an ardent champion for girls and women, a fierce critic of toxic masculinity, and the target of extraordinary vitriol – which, from time to time, has elicited incendiary responses that she has later regretted. Her new book, 'How We Love: Notes on a Life', is an exploration of how love makes its home in our heart, and the act of faith and bravery required to surrender ourselves to it. She joins us in person for this special session to reflect on her work past, present and future, in conversation with Madeleine Chapman. Supported by Platinum Bold Patron Theresa Gattung. WEDNESDAY 24 AUGUST 2022 – 8.15-9.30PM KIRI TE KANAWA THEATRE, AOTEA CENTRE

The Auckland Writers Festival podcast is a direct line to the stages and conversations of one of the Southern Hemisphere's most vibrant literary events. This audio archive captures the live, unscripted energy of festival sessions, bringing the voices of the world's most compelling authors, thinkers, and poets directly to you. Each episode is a deep dive into the ideas shaping our world, from intimate interviews on the craft of writing to expansive panel discussions on history, politics, science, and culture. You'll hear novelists dissect their characters, historians trace forgotten narratives, and poets articulate the ineffable, all within the unique atmosphere of a live audience. This isn't a produced studio show; it's the sound of intellectual discovery and passionate debate happening in real time. The collection serves as a lasting resource, preserving the festival's dynamic spirit long after the final applause. For anyone who believes in the power of stories to challenge and connect us, this podcast offers a front-row seat to a celebration of words and the people who wield them with extraordinary skill.
