This event will have ASL interpretation.

Immerse yourself in the mysterious, imaginative, and dramatic with a conversation between two revered historical fantasy writers. J.M. Miro—pen name of the Giller-shortlisted author Steven Price— introduces readers to a dark, labyrinthine world of Victorian London in Ordinary Monsters, called “a dazzling mountain of wild invention.” The prolific, award-winning Guy Gavriel Kay returns to our stages with a page-turning drama, All The Seas of the World. How do these authors begin to structure these fantastical places? What excites them about the almost-worlds of yesterday? Prepare to be ignited by these two magnificent minds. Moderated by Rob Wiersema.
