September 3, 2020 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm UTC-5

Free

Thursday September 3, 8:00-9:00 p.m. EST (online)

Host: Nana aba Duncan, CBC

The motivation to write a book is often deeply personal. These three startling new works of fiction have all been written in response to real-life subjects close to the hearts of the authors: decolonization and degentrification, the climate emergency, and the tension between modern and traditional customs. This panel will explore the stories behind the stories – the social, cultural, and environmental issues that inspired the books.

This event includes closed captioning.
