Last week we held the final book event for Hilda Hoy’s Mother Tongue summer tour here in Taiwan. It has been a total delight to hold so many well attended, warm and moving events across the country this summer.

The event was hosted by our friends at 不不 Tainan, a beautifully renovated community bookshop and event space in the meandering back alleyways of the old city.

This time Hilda was in conversation with Wind&Bones Books co-director Will Buckingham. And during the conversation talked about the mighty Joan Didion, storytelling and ethics, the politics of stories and the different audiences and readers the book has had so far — in Canada, Taiwan, Europe.
