Pre-Festival Special Event: Louise Erdrich
Pre-Festival Special Event: Louise Erdrich
October 6, 2024
A new novel by Louise Erdrich is a major literary event. World-renowned for her substantial body of work—including numerous award-winning and bestselling novels such as The Sentence, The Night Watchman, and Love Medicine, that centre modern-day Native American experiences—the Pulitzer Prize-winning author joins nêhiyaw âpihtawikosisân/Icelandic author Carleigh Baker in Vancouver to discuss The Mighty Red, a heartrending story about love and our tattered bond with the earth.
In Argus, North Dakota, a collection of people revolve around a fraught wedding. But human time is set against the speed of climate change. This is a novel about ordinary people living in a starkly beautiful prairie community, who must cope with devastating consequences as powerful forces upend them.
Books will be available for purchase before and after the event, courtesy of Massy Books.
Youth under 25 can purchase a discounted ticket for $20.
