We're really pleased to welcome Michael to Exeter to talk to us about Late Light - winner of the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2024. Late Light combines natural history with memoir in the story of Michael's journey as an Indonesian Australian making a new home for himself in England. Late Light is about migration, belonging and extinction. Through the close examination of four particular 'unloved' animals - eels, moths, crickets and mussels - Michael Malay tells the story of the economic, political and cultural events that have shaped the modern landscape of Britain. About the Author Michael Malay is a teacher and writer based in Bristol. He spent his early years in Jakarta, Indonesia, before moving to Australia with his family at the age of ten. He is the author of Late Light, a book about migration, belonging and extinction, and is now working on a book about John Berger. This event will be in-person at Exeter Custom House.
