Last year, almost every Sunday morning for three months, I sat at my dining table interviewing writers in many different time zones, sitting at their own desks and dining tables, via Zoom. The big Covid lockdown had scuppered the Auckland Writers Festival, so director Anne O Brien created the 2020 Winter Series.
