We are asking quick questions of writers and thinkers coming to the WORD Christchurch Festival 2018 (Wednesday 29 August to Sunday 2 September).
Catherine Chidgey’s novels have been published to international acclaim. The Wish Child won the 2016 Acorn Foundation Fiction Prize and Golden Deeds was a Los Angeles Times book of the year. Chidgey was awarded the 2017 Janet Frame Fiction Prize.

What would be your desert island book?
Share a surprising fact about yourself.
My second and third toes are ever-so-slightly webbed.
