ELLEN VAN NEERVEN Heat and Light Tuesday 9 September 6.00 for 6.30pm Over three parts, Ellen Van Neerven takes traditional storytelling and gives it a unique, contemporary twist. In Heat, we meet several generations of the Kresinger family and the legacy left by the mysterious Pearl. In Water, a futuristic world is imagined and the fate of a people threatened. In Light, familial ties are challenged and characters are caught between a desire for freedom and a sense of belonging.
Ellen van Neerven takes her readers on a journey that is mythical, mystical and still achingly real. She is a new talent in Australian writing. Ellen van Neerven is a writer of Mununjali and Dutch heritage. She won the David Unaipon Award for an Unpublished Indigenous Writer in the 2013 Queensland Literary Awards for Heat and Light.
