SUMMARY:Fall Book Club: Colson Whitehead in Conversation with Laura Lynch
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Fall Book Club\, featuring Harlem Shuffle\, the highly-anticipated new release from Colson Whitehead\, a Festival favourite and the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Nickel Boys and The Underground Railroad\, both of which were also instant\, #1 New York Times bestsellers. Whitehead will be joined by award-winning journalist and CBC What On Earth host Laura Lynch in an electrifying discussion of his latest work. \nA gloriously entertaining novel of heists\, shakedowns\, and rip-offs in the 1960s\, Harlem Shuffle is centered around the unassuming Ray Carney\, an upstanding furniture salesman\, making a decent life for himself and his family. But cash is tight\, so Ray joins his cousin Freddie to rob the Hotel Theresa. The heist doesn’t go as planned and Ray gets mixed up with assorted Harlem lowlifes\, thus beginning the internal tussle between Ray the striver and Ray the crook. Harlem Shuffle is a family saga posing as a crime novel\, a hilarious morality play\, a novel about race and power\, and ultimately a love letter to Harlem. \nBe one of the first to read this powerhouse of a novel. Ticket buyers to our Fall Virtual Book Club will receive a hardcover of Harlem Shuffle\, publishing September 14\, as part of their purchase. \nFulfilled by Kidsbooks \n\nPresented in partnership with SFU Continuing Studies.

SUMMARY:Jody Wilson-Raybould  in Conversation  with Dana Gee
DESCRIPTION:As one of the most high-profile political figures in Canada\, Jody Wilson-Raybould‘s experience in Trudeau’s Cabinet revealed important lessons about how we must continue to strengthen our political institutions and culture\, and the changes we must make to meet challenges such as racial justice and climate change. Inspirational and full of integrity\, Wilson-Raybould stood on principle at a critical juncture and resigned when the government failed to uphold its promises. \nIndian in the Cabinet: Speaking Truth to Power is Wilson-Raybould’s story of getting into federal politics\, her experience as an Indigenous leader sitting around the Cabinet table\, her proudest achievements\, the very public SNC-Lavalin affair\, and how she got out and moved forward. Hear a riveting and timely conversation on the eve of Canada’s next federal election on the power of change\, and our capacity to implement it\, as Wilson-Raybould is joined by the Vancouver Sun journalist Dana Gee online with this exclusive book launch event\, including a live Q&A with the audience. \nIndian in the Cabinet is available to purchase now from our partner bookstores for this event: \nKidsbooks\nBlack Bond Books (BookWarehouse)\nMunro’s Books\nVolume One Bookstore\nTalewind Books\nMassy Books\nHager Books
