Louisa Lim is no stranger to controversy - her first book The People's Republic of Amnesia - Tiananmen Revisited resulted in her being unable to visit mainland China for years.
When the Hong Kong protests began over concerns about an extradition treaty, and escalated to a crackdown on freedom of expression, award-winning journalist Louisa Lim found herself uniquely placed to capture the city's untold history in her most recent, Stella Prize shortlisted Indelible City: Dispossession and Defiance in Hong Kong.
A former correspondent for the BBC and NPR, and now a Senior Lecturer at University of Melbourne, Louisa is coming to Auckland next month for an event at the Auckland Writers Festival.
