SUMMARY:Book Launch: The Broken Heart of Winter
DESCRIPTION:📚\nThe Broken Heart of Winter by Judy LeBlanc is available to pre-order from Indigo\, caitlin-press.com\, and your local independent bookstore.\n📚\nIn award-winning writer Judy LeBlanc’s debut novel\, three women are linked by generations of hardship\, displacement\, and the mystery of an eighteenth-century French musket that has been passed down through the LeBlanc family since the time of the Acadian expulsion. A riveting and heart-wrenching look at the effects of cultural trauma on Canada’s Acadian community\, The Broken Heart of Winter takes readers on a riveting ride from modern-day Canada to a 19th-century Maritime island to untangle a family’s web of secrets and lies.\n📚\n“If you are Acadian\, Mi’kmaq\, or a Vietnamese baker working the night shift in Victoria\, BC\, what does survival—physical\, familial\, cultural and financial—look and sound and feel like? This powerful\, beautifully written novel explores the grim historical realities of Acadian expulsion and exile as well as the glorious small and large-scale triumphs of survival in the 1830s and modern-day Canada. A timely and necessary contribution to understanding and empathy for this planet’s perennial population of refugees\, the exiled\, those who perished and those who survived.”\n—Caroline Woodward\, author of Alaska Highway Two-Step\n📚\nLeBlanc will launch her book in Fanny Bay with fellow Caitlin Press authors Andrea Routley (This Unlikely Soil) and Susan Braley (Tilling the Darkness).

SUMMARY:Interview: Eleanor Catton in Conversation with Bill Richardson
DESCRIPTION:Eleanor Catton makes a highly anticipated return to the Vancouver Writers Fest with her first novel since The Luminaries was published a decade ago; the mysterious\, intricately structured tale sold 1.5 million copies worldwide\, and made her the youngest ever winner of the Booker Prize. Now\, Catton plunges readers into the world of a gripping new page-turner. Probe the urgent political issues of our times at this Vancouver Writers Fest Special Event\, featuring a literary thriller that Stephen King has called “as good as it gets.” \nBirnam Wood is a fast-paced\, character-driven\, psychologically penetrating work of climate fiction that explores the tense encounter between Birnam Wood—an internally conflicted guerrilla gardening collective\, whose members plant crops on land they don’t own—and an American billionaire who intends to use his newly purchased plot of New Zealand farmland to build an apocalypse bunker. With a title inspired by Macbeth\, Birnam Wood aims Shakespearean wit and drama at our various contemporary crises. \nCome and discover the book that the Globe and Mail\, The Guardian\, Maclean’s\, Vogue\, Kirkus Reviews and more have named one of the most anticipated of 2023. Catton joins award-winning author and esteemed moderator Bill Richardson on Saturday\, March 11 for an incisive conversation about greed\, power\, and reckoning with our global existential threat. \nBooks will be for sale at the event courtesy of Upstart & Crow.

SUMMARY:Reading: NICOLE MARKOTIĆ
DESCRIPTION:Nicole Markotić is a poet\, novelist\, short fiction writer and professor of Canadian and Children’s Literature at the University of Windsor. Her poetry titles include Minotaurs & Other Alphabets\, Bent at the Spine\, Whelmed and a recent translation of the Old English epic\, Beowulf; her novels\, Yellow Pages (on the inventions of Alexander Graham Bell)\, Scrapbook of My Years as a Zealot (about a young woman who becomes a Mormon)\, and a recent Young Adults work\, Rough Patch (a coming of age tale about a bisexual teen). She was poetry editor at Red Deer Press for six years and is currently a fiction editor at NeWest Press. Her academic interests include representations of disability in children’s literature\, feminist critical and body theory and twentieth-century Canadian and North American literature and poetics. \nNicole’s Sunshine Coast reading will include selections from her Beowulf\, a rollicking tale of toxic masculinity against the Beast from Outside. Markotić’s translation is both irreverently hilarious and meticulously researched. In the words of one reviewer\, “Upending the tale with her fresh and enchanting style\, Markotić gives a nod to previous translations\, winks at canonical critics\, bares historical biases\, all while gifting transmogrifying pages that will whet your whimsy!”

SUMMARY:Incite: VenCo: Cherie Dimaline
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Vancouver Writers Fest in partnership with Vancouver Public Library and Massy Books. \nDon your cloaks and gather with other members of our literary coven for an evening of divine storytelling and witchcraft. Our third Incite event features Festival favourite Cherie Dimaline\, whose book The Marrow Thieves has garnered multiple awards and maintained an astonishingly frequent presence on the Canadian bestseller’s list for the past five years. Her latest novel for adults invites readers on an enchanting\, treacherous road trip adventure that will “bring magic back into your life” (Eden Robinson). \nVenCo is a wickedly subversive\, deliciously imaginative\, deeply feminist novel of contemporary witches on the rise. When Métis millennial Lucky St. James finds a spoon in her basement inscribed with the letters S-A-L-E-M\, she joins a network of extraordinary women across North America who are searching desperately for the final spoon—and the unknown witch who holds it. The Kirkus Prize and Governor General’s Literary Award winning author joins author and academic Billy-Ray Belcourt (A History of My Brief Body\, A Minor Chorus) to discuss her spellbinding new book\, and her prolific and varied writing life. \nBooks will be for sale before and after the event courtesy of Massy Books.
