Pukapuka Talks: The Absolute Book - Nelson Arts Festival

Elizabeth Knox’s new novel, The Absolute Book, is being heralded as a triumph of fantasy, grounded in the reality and challenges of the times in which we live.

Elizabeth Knox, ONZM, is the author of 13 novels, three novellas and a collection of essays. The Vintner’s Luck won the Deutz Medal for Fiction in the 1999 Montana New Zealand Book Awards, and the Tasmanian Pacific Region Prize, and has been published in ten languages.

Last year’s NZ Book Award fiction winner Pip Adam describes reading Knox’s long-awaited new novel as an opportunity “to be immersed in her worlds, wrapped in her intelligence and craft so completely” and “an experience not be missed.”
