video: ‘Sons, Mothers and the Frozen South’ by Carys Davies

Welsh author Carys Davies, winner of the Ondaatje Prize 2025, came to Passa Porta to give a lecture entitled "Sons, Mothers, and the Frozen South". It was a brilliant and moving reflection on how real life finds its way into fiction, on the writing of her new novel, and on how writing about the past also allows us to question the present. Relive this wonderful evening here.
