# Event Details

- **Event Name**: NIGHT, MA: ELIZABETH KNOX 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 20 Jul, 2026 at 12:15 pm – Mon, 20 Jul, 2026 at 01:15 pm
- **Event Description**: Acclaimed novelist Elizabeth Knox’s brilliant, unflinching, and beautiful memoir, Night, Ma, was 12 years in the making. It tells the story of three-and-a-half years of calamity in which her sister suffered a psychotic break, her husband’s brother died by violence, her mother was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, and life as she thought she knew it came undone. 

She appears in conversation with Ingrid Horrocks to discuss illness, family, care, love, how we story our lives, the art and ethics of memoir, and the loneliness of unutterable experiences.  

Writers on Mondays is presented by the International Institute of Modern Letters and The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The 2026 series will run from 12.15—1.15 pm each Monday from 6 July to 28 September at Te Papa and Circa Theatre, with two special evening sessions at Meow. Admission is free and all are welcome. The series is supported by the Letteri family.
