Reif Larsen and Steve Grimwade

Reif Larsen is one of MWF’s daily writers-in-residence appearing at the Federation Square Atrium. He spent the early part of this afternoon luring innocent members of the public into the surrealist game of Exquisite Corpse, in which players write or draw something as a prompt for the next player. Even Steve Grimwade, the second-busiest person on site, joined in momentarily. Reif is the author/illustrator hybrid of The Selected Works of TS Spivet, a beautiful illustrated novel that tells the story of a 12-year-old mapmaker. Reif will also appear in Debut with Style tomorrow at 1pm and in conversation on Saturday at 10 am. He is very sweet and may ask you to draw a picture for him.
