Doctor and writer, Dawn Garisch has just published her latest novel Accident through Modjaji Books. Dawn invited me to be in conversation with her at her book launch event at Kalk Bay Books on the 10th May. She asked me if I wanted to make a performance part of the conversation as one of the main characters in the novel is performance artist Max.
