He will discuss deeply held obsessions with Kate Evans, journalist and regular contributor to NZ Geographic and self-proclaimed feijoa fanatic who spent a decade chasing the origins of the fruit across four continents, resulting in her runaway best-seller Feijoa: A Story of Obsession and Belonging.
