Last remaining tickets for Paolo Giordano

Award-winning Italian author Paolo Giordano will be joining us at BorderKitchen to discuss his new novel Tasmanië, an exploration of hope, doubt and longing in uncertain times. In Tasmanië, we meet a man who grapples with the fact that he may never become a father, and is confronted with doubts and temptations as he searches for balance in his marriage. The novel raises vital questions about how you deal with the fear and vulnerability that can overwhelm you when you lose control of the world around you.

Tasmanië is a lively and sensitive novel from an author with an empathetic approach to life today in all its facets – faith, science, climate, parenting, love. Giordano describes how we are all looking for a place -- our own Tasmania -- where a future is still possible.

Paolo Giordano won many awards for his debut novel The Solitude of Prime Numbers (2009), which has been published in more than forty countries. Other novels include The Human BodyHeaven and Earth, and Like Family.
